While speaking on Up & Adams, CM Punk shared his thoughts on John Cenas upcoming retirement, comparing him to hockey legend Wayne Gretzky.
Punk explained that Cena has held it down for WWE over many years and is now stepping away with class and dignity. He said it has been special to watch Cena close out his career in real time, since fans rarely get the chance to appreciate iconic athletes as they say farewell.
The Second City Saint pointed out how uncertain physical careers can be, comparing wrestling to the NFL. Punk mentioned that a career can end instantly due to injury, so seeing Cena leave on his own terms while still healthy is something rare and admirable.
Its to be noted that Wayne Gretzky is widely considered the greatest player in NHL history, known for his long-lasting dominance, leadership and influence over the sport. So its clear that CM Punk feels Cena has played a similar role in WWE.
John Cenas final match will take place at Saturday Nights Main Event on December 13th at the Capital One Arena in Washington, DC and its expected to be one of the most highly anticipated matches in the history of WWE. Therefore, well have to see how Cenas final match turns out in the end.
