R-Truth: John Cena Being Able To Go Out On His Own Terms Makes Me Happy And Proud

R-Truth comments on John Cena riding off into the sunset after WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event.

Throughout John Cena’s retirement run during 2025, one name that has been a common part of it has been R-Truth, who even took part in Cena’s final event on Saturday in a segment also involving The Miz and Joe Hendry. With Cena retiring following Saturday’s event, R-Truth is now left without a childhood hero to look up to.

While speaking on the WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event show on Saturday, R-Truth spoke about Cena’s retirement, admitting that it’s bittersweet.

“It’s bittersweet, he’s a dedicated soul. I say dedicated so much of the business, his time, his body, his mind, his resilience, he’s dedicated so much of the business, man, and for him to be able to pick the time to do that exit. I mean, we all have to get off that ride at some point. Bro, it’s bittersweet, man. We don’t want to see him go. I don’t want to see him go. Nobody else want to see him go. Nothing lasts forever, and he’s able to do it on his own terms. That’s what makes me happy and proud. He was able to achieve, if you saw the highlights, the little kid with the belt, he achieved more than he probably thought he could achieve. He achieved more than anyone has.”

Cena’s father also would comment on his final match. You can read more about that here.
