John Cena takes his final bow, after last ever WWE fight

US actor and wrestler John Cena fought the final fight of his 16 match retirement tournament in Washington on Saturday night, bringing to a close an illustrious 24-year career that saw him become one of wrestling's biggest and most recognisable stars.

The 48-year-old announced his retirement back in July 2024, telling fans at the time that his "body hurts" and is "screaming to close the chapter".

It has been confirmed however that he will remain a part of the WWE family, after he signed a five-year deal to be an ambassador.

Fans gave Cena a standing ovation at the end of Saturday's match and he left the ring, for the final time, to thunderous applause.
