Over the past few weeks, John Cena and WWE have been dropping hints about upcoming events. Cena is frustrated because he hasn’t won a match in over two thousand days. He recently appeared on SmackDown to emphasize the significance of WWE Crown Jewel to him. Some reports suggest that this match might be his last.
Cena’s losing streak in singles matches since 2018 was extended at Crown Jewel when Solo Sikoa defeated him. As a result, fans are worried that Cena might make a decision that neither he nor they would like. Their concern is valid, especially as retirement speculations have arisen after he shared his thoughts on Instagram.
Did John Cena fight in his last in-ring match in WWE?
At Fastlane, Cena joined up with LA Knight to take on Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso, two members of The Bloodline with whom he has been feuding recently. Cena faced Sikoa, and Knight challenged Roman Reigns for the Undisputed Universal Championship, both in one-on-one bouts at Crown Jewel. It was disappointing for Cena’s supporters that the 16-time WWE Champion lost an easy match to “The Enforcer” Sikoa.
Cena’s loss was devastating and humiliating for him at the time. He had predicted victory, but his rival ultimately prevailed. WWE analyst Michael Cole even suggested that, given the match’s outcome and Cena’s temperament backstage, Sikoa might be the one to retire Cena.
Cena’s experience showed as he initially controlled the match and kept Sikoa in check. However, The Bloodline’s powerhouse, Sikoa, proved to be a formidable opponent for the seasoned wrestler. After the event, Cena took to Instagram to share a picture from David Beckham’s farewell bout in 2013, hinting at his own exit from professional wrestling.
Solo Sikoa beats John Cena
John Cena’s ongoing presence in WWE has significantly influenced the industry, boosting attendance, merchandising sales, and TV ratings. He has also played a pivotal role in The Bloodline and LA Knight’s achievements. Cena stressed the importance of defeating Solo Sikoa, as he hadn’t secured a televised singles victory in more than 2,000 days.
Cena tried his signature move, the Attitude Adjustment, during their match, which led to a series of moves and counters. Sikoa responded with his finishing move, the Samoan Spike, hitting it multiple times. After each hit, Cena had a tough time recovering, and in the end, Sikoa secured the victory with more Samoan Spikes.
