The wrestling world lit up on New Years Eve when longtime WWE superfan Brock Lesnar Guy announced hes officially stepping away from attending live wrestling events after 25 years. But while the farewell triggered mixed reactions including a savage jab from AEW World Champion MJF John Cena offered a very different kind of response.
In true Cena fashion, the 17-time World Champion didnt post a long message or a farewell thread. Instead, he let a single photo do the talking. Cena posted a picture of Brock Lesnar Guy fists clenched, passion on full display, standing near ringside with zero caption. The post landed, especially for those who know Cenas history of letting subtle Instagram uploads speak louder than words.
That day prior, Brock Lesnar Guy had posted a heartfelt farewell video showing him solemnly placing his trademark Lesnar shirt on an empty chair, saying:
While MJF responded by saying, Wrestlers, we need to start hitting fans again, Cena countered with quiet respect acknowledging the impact fans like Brock Lesnar Guy have had on WWEs legacy without needing to say a word.
Whether you think the retirement video was heartfelt or over-the-top, Cenas gesture stood in stark contrast to the usual noise proving once again why hes one of the most respected names in the business.
