John Cena with Triple H

John Cena tapped out against Gunther on Saturday night.

Triple H has explained why he had John Cena lose his retirement match

Cena fought Gunther in his final WWE bout. Not only did he lose, but he also tapped out.

This was Cena’s first tapout in nearly 20 years.

One would expect that Gunther would have been proud to lose to Cena on his swansong, but that’s not how it went.

Cena leaves the ring with a defeat, much to the disappointment of the WWE Universe. But he took it in stride.

He addressed the crowd after the loss, looking straight into the camera and saying, “It’s been a pleasure serving you all these years, thank you.”

He made his exit after a trademark salute.

Triple H Suggests It’s What Cena Would Have Always Wanted

While the Washington crowd gave it up for Cena, they booed Triple H.

The chief content officer has since offered an explanation.

HHH claimed that it was the right thing to do for WWE, something John Cena has proclaimed his entire career.

“John has said the right thing his entire career that it is about leaving this place better than you found it,” he said. “I think that there’s no way for people to understand that in the moment, but you do what is right for the business, you do what is right for this industry, John has done that his entire career, and I’m going to do that my entire career.”

“What I will do what I believe is right for this business. It just is what it is — It’s part of what we do. That is the role we have chosen,” he added.


Our guess is that fans still won’t have it.

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.
