John Cena comments on wearing old wrist and armbands during his final match in December of last year.
In December of last year, John Cena would feature in his final professional wrestling match as he took on Gunther at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event. As part of his ring gear at the event, he would wear the same wrist and armbands that he previously wore at SummerSlam.
While speaking at MEGACon Orlando (via Kickin’ It With Keegan), John Cena spoke about wearing old wrist and armbands on the night of his final match.
“So, uh, great catch. The reason is it was a mistake. I wish I had some cool, like, deep gut to be like, oh, the match, the match, the SummerSlam match didn’t mean a lot to me, but the colors were essentially the same, and the person who drops the uniform in my dressing room, the merchandise guys, they drop the SummerSlam wristbands in the room, and admittedly, that was a bit of a busy day for me. There were a lot of folks there. There were a lot of guests there. I was actually doing meet and greets throughout the day. I didn’t really have a lot of time to sit and reflect. So I just figured, OK, these colors match, the shirt, there is no way someone would give me a set of old wrist pants to wear out there, and lo and behold, here we are. I guess my takeaway is details do matter. So that’s my learning experience.”
Elsewhere in another recent interview, Dominik Mysterio discussed facing off with Cena in his final PLE match. You can read more about that here.
