Former WWE Star Defends John Cena Tapping Out In Retirement Match

A former WWE star has commented on John Cena’s retirement match, defending the decision to have him submit.

John Cena’s WWE retirement match took place on Saturday night at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, with Cena submitting to GUNTHER on the show.

The decision has divided the WWE fanbase, and a former WWE star has commented on the finish, defending the decision for Cena to tap out.

Speaking on TMZ Sports, CJ Perry (WWE’s Lana) addressed why she believes Cena tapping out was the right choice.

She said:

“He’s 48 years old, and a man that’s stronger than him, taller than him, 10 years younger than him is choking him out.

“Life doesn’t always go as we plan, I feel like if anything John has become more my hero because now I see that he is human. A superhero that is human.

“This is also what John has said, he says everything has to end, and this is why I think he is such a hero, we all have to know when to bow out, so he did it in the best way.

“Also he was just saying we don’t all live forever, and so that’s a really hard pill to swallow at times, but at the same time it’s like, if you’re gonna go out, do it this way.”
