You won’t be “seeing” John Cena in the squared circle again.

Wrestling fans had plenty of reactions to John Cena’s final words as a WWE superstar before signing off for good.

John Cena concluded his illustrious career during “Saturday Night’s Main Event” in Washington, DC. The 17-time world champion lost to Gunther in a thrilling back-and-forth match via submission, closing the books on his historic run in the squared circle.

After the loss, Cena addressed the Washington crowd and the fans watching on live television. Before the broadcast ended, Cena looked at the camera and said, “It’s been a pleasure serving you all these years, thank you.”

John Cena then performed his signature saluting gesture before departing backstage.

The wrestling world had a lot to say after Cena’s final match and sendoff.

“Why end him on a loss!😭😭😭,” a fan wrote.

“No, John Cena. The pleasure was all ours. 😭 You carried this company on your back when nobody else could. Thank you for making our childhoods special,” said another.

“Cena retiring like a boss. Hollywood stole our invisible legend😭💪,” wrote a user.

“Nothing will ever be the same again,” a fan commented.

“Cena retiring feels the like series finale of WWE,” said another.

“He inspired us lot,” a fan added.

The 48-year-old John Cena retires with the most world championships ever. Cena broke the record he shared with Ric Flair by defeating Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41, starting a short-and-sweet heel turn.

When Cena took over as the new face of the WWE in 2005, there was an insane amount of pressure. WWE had to move on from the Attitude Era earlier than expected, with ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin retiring early and The Rock leaving for Hollywood.

Cena ultimately spent nearly a full decade as the top star in WWE. His inspirational journey, grade-A microphone skills, charisma and ability to connect with the audience set Cena apart from most other WWE legends.

We haven’t Cena work full-time in the WWE in more than a decade, but his retirement nonetheless leaves a giant void that won’t be replaced.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
