Last night, John Cena officially ended his historic WWE career with a loss to Gunther. After decades of telling everyone never to give up, the greatest of all time did just that after getting repeatedly ensnared in a sleeper hold.

John Cena became a 17-time WWE Champion at WrestleMania 41, defeating Cody Rhodes in the main event. The match was memorable for Travis Scott getting involved in the match and Cena embracing his heel personality. Fans were left disappointed by the match, though Cena, now a babyface, and Cody had redemption at WWE SummerSlam in a street fight.

Well ahead of their run-in at WrestleMania 40 and their brief alliance during John Cena's retirement tour, he and The Rock clashed both on- and off-screen.

In the end, there were no surprises. No run-ins or plot twists. No headline-stealing appearances from The Rock. Instead, WWE played it straight and simple with John Cena's swan song — as it knew it had to do.

John Cena officially retired from professional wrestling this weekend, and had some famous pals sent him congratulatory messages.
