John Cena Dispels Wild Wrestling Rumor, Shutting Down Misinformation about His Final Match

It never should have been in doubt that John Cena’s final match was going to main event the final show he wrestles on. And yet, there we were earlier this week, with fans debating and crucifying WWE’s apparent decision to have Cena effectively be a curtain jerker for his own retirement show. On Friday, Cena himself put the rumors to bed, clarifying where his match will take place on the card, during his appearance on the Pat McAfee Show.

“We’re last,” Cena said, in what feels like the most obvious, why did you even have to ask me, question. “I don’t know how the rumor started. I think some folks with credibility like to kick the hornet’s nest every once in a while and get people chattering. I understand we’re in the age of information, so it’s gotta keep my attention. ‘You’re not last?’ Sure that’ll keep my attention for a few hot clicks. I don’t know how it started. It’s difficult to conceptualize that.”

Now, Cena did go on to say that if WWE had wanted his match to go on first that he would have gladly done so, but there you have it folks. Don’t believe everything you read, especially if it seems wildly improbable. Cena is in the main event, where he belongs. Never a doubt.
