The GOAT announced his farewell tour last year at Money in the Bank in London, England. It officially started on RAW's debut episode on Netflix and took a literal turn at Elimination Chamber: Toronto, when he finally became a heel after more than 20 years.

John Cena became a 17-time WWE World Champion and won his first Intercontinental Championship during the tour. He's set to face Gunther at SNME inside the Capital One Center.

In tribute to his career, Elon Musk's X, formerly known as Twitter, has officially launched Cena's personal hashtag: #ThankYouCena. It features an emoji of The GOAT doing his legendary "You Can't See Me" taunt.

"I’m gonna retire on the 13th. They will be moved on by the Royal Rumble, and that is real facts, I will be forgotten. That is not a plea to sympathy of like, 'Always remember me.' By the Royal Rumble, the Road to WrestleMania, nobody gives a f*ck, 'cause they're focusing on what the show is. That's like three weeks after I retire. Three weeks after I retire, nobody's going to give a f*ck," Cena said. [H/T WrestleOps]

While Cena feels that way, the WWE Universe will never forget him, though it's inevitable that all parties are going to move on.
