00:00Hey, we expect
00:01Go ahead, go ahead
00:11It's been the same damn noise for 25 years
00:16I've been the victim of an abusive relationship
00:23When I first got here
00:29Oh, you let me know really loud that you hated me
00:33So what did I do?
00:37I went and I changed myself
00:39Hoping that you would like me a little bit
00:41But that it wasn't enough
00:43So what did I do?
00:45I worked hard like I always do
00:47And I started to win
00:49Oh, I won a lot
00:52And you hated it
00:54It wasn't enough
00:56All you do is be hurtful
01:01And you take
01:03And you only care about yourselves
01:06You don't wear this for support
01:09You wear it to make you feel good
01:11You wear words like hustle, loyalty, and respect
01:16I live them every day
01:22John Cena is a 17-time world champion
01:28I don't need you anymore
01:37I don't care about you
01:39And you don't matter to me
01:41I am going to ruin wrestling
01:46For every fan
01:48For every wrestler
01:51For everyone
01:55I will be the last real champion in WWE

03:29Beautiful night in Tampa Bay
03:34Let's go
04:43The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
04:55Introducing first, from West Newberry, Massachusetts, weighing in at 251 pounds, he is the undisputed
05:04WWE Champion, John Cena.
05:11A very interesting reaction, of course, for John Cena tonight.
05:15When the initial music hits, the crowd comes to its feet.
05:19And then when Cena appears, he's booed out of the building.
05:21Ladies and gentlemen, he is the greatest of all time, the never-seen 17, gracing Tampa with
05:38his presence for the final time, the last real champion, John Cena!
05:49Well, Pat, despite his recent actions, I still believe you are looking at the greatest of
05:56all time, the 17-time record-setting world champion, John Cena.
06:01A lot of people wearing...
06:08A lot of people wearing John Cena shirts, booing his ass.
06:12And here comes perhaps his biggest fan, decked out in old-school Cena gear.
06:21That's Ron Cena, baby!
06:28And his opponent, from Charlotte, North Carolina, weighing in at 220 pounds, R-Truth!
06:38Well, there was an interesting statistic we saw a bit earlier, the fact that R-Truth and
06:46his career is 2-1 versus John Cena.
06:49Cena, however, beat him with a championship on the line, a capital punishment.
06:53But R-Truth said tonight, he has one job.
06:57And that job is to beat, hustle, loyalty, and respect back into his hero, John Cena, tonight.
07:06Let's not forget, Cena beat Randy Orton thanks to R-Truth, and how did Cena repay him?
07:12He AA'd him through a table, through a press conference.
07:15Remember, John Cena is R-Truth's childhood hero.
07:22John Cena just disrespects the hell out of him.
07:26And Cena, waste a little time!
07:30Jason Ayers, the official, calls to the bell, and John Cena now assaulting R-Truth.
07:35As the matchup just gets underway, obviously upset with the fact that R-Truth came out
07:40here, trying to be the good John Cena, I guess you would put it.
07:45The WWE fans reacted positively.
07:48Could also be some PTSD of previous days for John Cena.
07:53John Cena, John!
07:56H-O-T-O-T-O-T-O-T-O!
07:59H-O-T-O-T-O-T-O-T-O!
08:02H-O-T-O-T-O-T-O!
08:04H-O-T-O-T-O-T-O-T-O-T-O-T-O-T-O-T-O-T-O!
08:06Currently have 11 of the top 20 trends on X right now, and I think there's another
08:11one or two about to join.
08:14Cena and Ron Cena are putting on a fight here in Tampa.
08:19John Cena's last time ever here in a city that he calls one of his hopes.
08:25Yeah, and John Cena, of course.
08:29Ron Cena lost both of his earrings as John Cena disgustingly throws him back on top of him.
08:34Well, here in Tampa, Florida, John Cena won the 10th of his record-setting 17 titles.
08:40Back at 2011, Extreme Rules.
08:49And a shoulder tackle by Cena.
08:55He calls himself the greatest of all time.
08:58You call him the greatest of all time.
09:00A lot of people do in half this arena saying that he can't wrestle.
09:04I think he might have just pissed off John Cena.
09:07And now another shoulder tackle.
09:09Cena taking his time, much more deliberate than he has been in the past.
09:13Troop looking to fight back.
09:14And Cena now going to take him down and put him in position.
09:21For his vintage five-knuckle shuffle.
09:25Which connects.
09:28Vintage John Cena here.
09:31Measuring Truth.
09:33For an attitude adjustment.
09:34Truth, though, able to slip out underneath.
09:35And R-Truth now looks to build one in.
09:37Shoulder tackle on his own.
09:38And now R-Truth, another shoulder tackle.
09:40This looks familiar.
09:41A little deja vu.
09:43Yeah, this is vintage Cena.
09:44That Truth is putting on display here.
09:46Listen to this place.
09:56Five-knuckle shuffle by Truth.
10:00Truth's got Cena up.
10:03Truth with an A.A.
10:05Truth's going to...
10:06Is he going to beat Cena?
10:07And a kick out by John at two.
10:11Near fall by Truth.
10:13Using all of John Cena's moves in his repertoire.
10:16They're going to take another one now.
10:18The STF locked in.
10:22The STF locked in on Cena, who goes to the ropes to force the break.
10:25John Cena should know every one of these moves better than anybody else on Earth.
10:33Yeah, but R-Truth delivered them perfectly to take control of this match.
10:37I talked to Truth earlier today.
10:38I asked him, what's gotten into John Cena in your mind?
10:40He compared Cena to Gollum in Lord of the Rings.
10:44Became power-hungry.
10:46Going after the goal.
10:47This Truth is whipped into the steel post now by Cena.
10:52John Cena throws Truth back into the ring.
10:54And what's he thinking here?
10:55Oh, we've seen him do this time and time again.
11:00And John Cena with the title at hand.
11:02Again, the title's not on the line in this matchup.
11:05John Cena, I believe, just wants to embarrass and do damage to R-Truth tonight above and beyond anything else.
11:13Can't use that, says Jason Ayers, the referee.
11:16Put R-Truth down for good.
11:23Maybe this is the moment.
11:25Maybe, maybe John Cena has reconsidered.
11:29Maybe he hasn't crossed it.
11:31Saw a look in the eyes of one of his admirers and said, maybe this isn't the way I need to be.
11:35I look to the WWE fans, I mean.
11:45Oh!
11:47Cena went low.
11:49A-A delivered.
11:51One, two, three.
11:53Here is your winner, the undisputed WWE Champion, John Cena!
12:08Well, John Cena suckered some of us in tonight.
12:17Decided not to use the championship.
12:19Instead, decided to go low once again.
12:22Which has become sort of his calling card lately.
12:24And now the title off the face, it's R-Truth.
12:29Again, no reason for that.
12:32Yet another despicable act.
12:37By John Cena.
12:38The goat rams the title off the head of another victim as he walks out of here.
12:46The same way he walked in.
12:49And again, Pat, the problem with this, and we said it earlier,
12:53this is nowhere close to how people believe John Cena would be spending his final year,
12:59his retirement year, here in WWE.
13:02Especially here in Tampa, a place he calls home, a place he's done a lot of great for.
13:06We were hoping for a make-a-wish, a positive night.
13:08Instead, it ends with a...
