The Business Reason Behind John Cena Losing His Final WWE Match
John Cena lost his final WWE match.
The crowd at the Capital One Arena saw him tap out to Gunther and lose his last match in WWE.
The WWE Universe wasn’t happy with the finish of the match. But ex-WWE star Stevie Richards believes John Cena chose to retire that way for a strong reason.
Why John Cena Lost His Final WWE Match
Speaking on The Stevie Richards Show, Richards stated The Never Seen 17 possesses the sharp instincts of a savvy businessman and politician.
He cleverly orchestrated his retirement in a way that generated enormous buzz throughout the entire wrestling world.
If The Last Real Champion were to have a picture-perfect, fairy-tale ending with a clean victory, fans would’ve shrugged it off and moved on within days, forgetting all about it by the next show.
But by going out in such a controversial, questionable loss, i.e., tapping out to Gunther in his last match, it has kept everyone talking non-stop, with massive debates raging online.
Yes. You know why? Because every retirement tour has the send-off, has him riding off into the sunset. And Cena being a politicker and being a businessman in his own mind, he stands out more going out a different way, because guess what we’re about to do?
We’re about to debate whether he should have done it or not. Isn’t that what Cena wanted? People talking, people paying attention. If John Cena would have created a moment by going over, giving the speech longer than 28 seconds is my guess.
And the big sendoff, but Cena literally did it in a way where now you and I are going to debate it. Now, people are going to complain. Now Gunther has heat, Triple H has heat. (From 0:11 – 0:58)
