The seeds for wrestling fans’ disappointment were sown long before John Cena tapped out to Gunther in his final WWE match Saturday night.

Cena’s entire retirement run was a disappointment to many fans — and there are plenty of easy-to-see reasons for that. 

Personally, I was OK with it for the most part, even though there were several things done just not well enough, and I thought Cena’s final match was painful to accept as a fan, but ultimately the right call, especially now that he’s explained the logic behind it.

The decision, however, got Triple H booed out of Capital One Arena and had fans chanting, “You f–ked up” inside the building and even “AEW” at him outside during the post-show in an unprecedented live show of rage toward a booker who was a bit disrespectful to Cena on his final night.
