John Cena admittedly got very emotional at a certain point during his retirement tour this year.
WWE Superstar John Cena was the latest guest on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet. When asked what his favorite moment of his retirement tour has been, Cena pointed to his match against CM Punk in Saudi Arabia, admitting the entire experience ended up making him cry.
“That moment with Punk in Saudi. That transcends wrestling,” John Cena said. “To see cultures bridged. To see genuine forgiveness. I’m watching that pre-show bawling. It’s a pre-show. Unfolding before our eyes is accountability and genuine forgiveness and the bridging of cultural gaps. People who might not know a lot about each other or understand each other are getting along in harmony through this one thing that we dig: wrestling.
“What a global conduit to peace, excitement, and happiness. I’m just glad that I was his opponent so I could be attached to that moment. That pre-show, man, that is what we do. He made that trip knowing it was going to be uneasy and knowing he was going to have to be accountable, and just leaned in.
“In a moment, people were like, ‘Oh, I’m heard. Yes, I’m ready to forgive.’ Astonishing. To top it all off, ‘I think we’ve bridged the gap here,’ and then for him to go out and smoke in the promo. Drop heat in the gimmick. It was beautiful. The one that almost got me to break, in between one of his lines, he said, ‘I miss you already.’ I almost lost it right in front of him. That’s one of the best moments I’ve ever been a part of.” [H/T: Fightful]
