According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observers Daily Update, both Vince McMahon and Donald Trump were not present at Saturday Nights Main Event in Washington, D.C., and Trump specifically declined the chance to attendeven though he was just minutes away.
Earlier speculation had swirled around both men possibly making an appearance for Cenas final match, given their deep ties to WWE and its most iconic moments. But Fightful Select confirmed that neither was ever expected backstage, and nobody in WWE had been told to plan for their arrival.
While some fans believed Trumpwho famously took part in The Battle of the Billionaires at WrestleMania 23might pop up to honor Cenas two-decade run, the former President opted to attend the Army vs. Navy game instead, which was held just blocks away from the Capital One Arena.
His absence mightve disappointed a few nostalgia-driven viewers, but it didnt dampen the atmosphere. Cena tapped out to GUNTHER in an emotional farewell match, closing the book on one of the most storied careers in WWE history.
Whether Trumps no-show was strategic, political, or personal, one things clear Cena didnt need a surprise appearance to make his exit unforgettable.
