WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry has revealed the emotional scene backstage following John Cena’s final match at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Henry described a locker room filled with tears and admiration for the retiring legend.
“I walked through the back… and there was a line of about thirty or forty people to get to John, hugging and consoling him,” Henry said. “I mean, people were emotional. It’s been a while since… the last time I seen people crying emotional like that was… somebody passed away.”
Henry emphasized that while Cena is leaving the ring, he isn’t disappearing completely. “John is still alive and well. He’s going to Hollywood… You’re gonna keep hearing him, every day… He’s not going away. He’s just going away from the ring.”
Regarding the crowd’s reaction to Gunther, Henry noted the intense heat the victor received. “All I know is this, Dave, they better get the dump button ready for every show because they said ‘f-you, GUNTHER’ throughout the whole match.”
