🤔 Why Would WWE Let Cena Lose His Farewell Match?
The controversial decision immediately sparked outrage and debate — and Triple H addressed it directly during the SNME post-show panel.
According to WWE’s Chief Content Officer, this ending wasn’t about shock value. It was about who John Cena truly is.
“John has said his entire career that it’s about leaving this place better than the way he found it,” Triple H explained.
“If you ask what John Cena would do on his way out — he would put somebody over. That’s what John does. That’s what he’s always done.”
Triple H admitted the ending would be painful for fans, but insisted it was the right call. Cena didn’t want a fairy-tale goodbye — he wanted to create the next unstoppable star.
And that star was Gunther.

John Cena’s WWE career didn’t end with a victory lap or fireworks. It ended the way he lived his career — by giving everything to the business he loved.
Seeing Cena tap out will forever sting. But his legacy as a selfless leader, locker-room pillar, and all-time great remains untouchable.
