Former WWE Tag Team Champion David Otunga isnt holding back when it comes to John Cenas retirement runand he thinks the company couldve done a lot more to celebrate the legacy of one of its greatest stars.
During a conversation with Ariel Helwani, Otunga reflected on Cenas last WWE Raw appearance at Madison Square Garden and admitted he was underwhelmed by how WWE chose to send Cena off. While the matcha six-man tagwas fine for what it was, Otunga felt Cena deserved something far more meaningful.
Reflecting on the way Cenas year-long farewell was presented, Otunga said he expected WWE to pull out something truly memorable.
Otunga went on to explain that Cenas final Raw match didnt fully capture what made him such a legendary figure in the first place.
Despite past storylines where Otungas character clashed with Cena, the Harvard Law graduate had nothing but respect for his former tag partner, even calling him one of the greatest of all time.
Otungas words echo a sentiment shared by many fans who expected more spectacle and emotion during Cenas final stretch with WWE. For someone who carried the company through multiple eras, Otunga feels the farewell lacked the personal touch and significance it truly deserved.
WWE has yet to confirm whats next for Cena [final match], but if this was truly the end, it sounds like Otungaand likely a big portion of the WWE Universewished it had been something bigger.
