Maybe it’s a reminder of exactly where WWE is right now, as John Cena is just two appearances away from saying goodbye for good.
The 17-time world champion’s final Madison Square Garden and “Monday Night Raw” appearance was one of the least memorable of his farewell tour as far as the magnitude of the moment, but it provided an element of fun that had been missing throughout his first act as a heel.
And everything that happened afterward certainly made up for the fact that fans were not given a Cena moment truly worthy of the hallowed ground that is the “World’s Most Famous Arena” and the premium price they paid for a ticket.
An emotional Cena wasn’t given much time to address the New York City fans outside of a thank you, as Dominik Mysterio cut him off rather quickly for a second straight week, and the two set up their Intercontinental championship rematch for Survivor Series in a very basic promo.
