How Ex-WWE Star Reacted To John Cena Using Finishing Move In Major Match

John Cena has paid tribute to many superstars in his farewell tour matches.

At Clash in Paris, The Never Seen 17 faced Logan Paul in a singles match. During the bout, he paid homage to one of his greatest rivals, AJ Styles, by executing the Styles Clash. Not only that, he also used ex-WWE star Baron Corbin’s End of Days finishing maneuver on The Maverick during the match.

Speaking to WrestlingNews.Co, Barbon Corbin, who was released by WWE in November 2024, revealed his reaction to Cena’s tribute to him at Clash in Paris. He claimed he knew nothing of John Cena’s tribute until it went viral on social media.

“It was funny because I wasn’t watching the show in real time. I was playing with my kids on the couch or something, and I looked at my phone and saw ninety-seven Twitter notifications. I was like, ‘What did I do? What got out?’ “So, I opened it, and it’s flooded with Cena hitting Logan Paul with the End of Days.”

“Obviously, he didn’t tell me. I think that’s what makes John special. He’s not gonna be like, ‘Hey, you should watch this show.’ He just does it, and, if you’re paying attention, you’ll know it’s for you.”

Baron Corbin Expresses Gratitude Towards John Cena

Baron Corbin was ecstatic to see the grand gesture John Cena made for him at Clash in Paris and was thankful to the reigning Intercontinental Champion for all the things that he’s done for him in WWE.

“The coolest thing was that he went on the after-talk show, and he was like, ‘I’m not going to get an opportunity to step in with everybody I want to who has played a part in my career or that I have shared experiences with that I respect, so that’s my way of doing it.”

“It was like a cool tip of the cap from him to me for what we’ve done together and how much he’s helped me in my career because I would have to hit 500 AAs to give him the respect that he has bestowed on me career-wise, the knowledge, and also friendship.”
