As seen during Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13th 2025, John Cena lost to Gunther in his final match by tapping out. Mark Henry, who was in attendance for the event, spoke on Busted Open Radio about what happened backstage after the show…

“I walked through the back, Dave, on my way up here to do this broadcast, and there was a line of about 30 or 40 people to get to John to hug him and console him. We gave the salute, and I kept going and came up here. But people were emotional. It’s been a while since that. The last time I’ve seen people crying emotional like that was when somebody passed away.

John, he’s still alive and well. He’s going to go to Hollywood. He’s going to make some incredible films. You’re going to keep hearing him every day on all the commercials and ad spaces that he does. He’s not going away. He’s just going away from the ring.”
