🔥 “25 Years of ‘Never Quit’ Ruined?” Vince Russo BLASTS Triple H Over John Cena’s Shocking Final Match
John Cena’s legendary 25-year WWE journey came to an emotional end in 2025—but not everyone is applauding the farewell. While Cena checked off every remaining box in his historic career, a growing number of fans and critics believe his retirement tour did more harm than good. And now, Vince Russo has dropped a bombshell accusation—placing the blame squarely on Triple H.
Cena’s final year was packed with jaw-dropping moments. He stunned the WWE Universe by turning heel for the first time in over two decades, captured a record-breaking 17th World Championship at WrestleMania 41, and finally completed the Grand Slam by winning the Intercontinental Championship. On paper, it was the perfect goodbye.
But according to critics, the execution told a very different story.
Speaking on The Coach & Bro Show, former WWE writer Vince Russo didn’t hold back. Russo claimed that Triple H, as WWE’s head of creative, failed to protect Cena’s legacy—especially when it came to the ending of his final match.
Cena wrestled his last-ever bout on December 13 at Saturday Night’s Main Event, where he lost to Gunther via submission. The moment sent shockwaves through the fanbase—not just because Cena lost, but because he tapped out for the first time in 21 years.
Russo argued that even if the finish was Cena’s own idea, Triple H should have stepped in.
According to Russo, allowing Cena—whose entire career was built on the message of “Never Give Up”—to quit in his final match sent the wrong message, especially to kids and Make-A-Wish families who looked up to him as a symbol of perseverance.
“You’ve spent 25 years telling people to never quit,” Russo explained. “So on your very last match, you’re going to quit? That destroys the message.”
While many fans agree with Russo and feel the ending tarnished Cena’s legacy, others believe the loss added realism and emotional weight to his farewell. Love it or hate it, one thing is clear—John Cena’s final chapter will be debated for years, and Triple H’s booking decisions are now firmly under the microscope.
Was it a powerful, bittersweet ending… or a legacy-defining mistake?
