Several athletes and TV personalities paid tribute to John
Cena, with videos of them talking about the former WWE
champion airing on Smackdown.
Tom Brady, Eli Manning, Peyton Manning, Snoop Dogg, Jelly
Roll, and Jimmy Fallon all sent their congratulations.
“Congratulations on an incredible career. You’ve impacted
the lives of so many people inside the ring and outside the
ring,” said Brady. “Good luck in your last match. I hope you
fare better in yours than I did in mine!”
“You inspired so many people. You won a ton of
championships. Almost impressive enough for me to forget the
fact that you’re a diehard Patriots fan,” added Eli Manning.
“But hey, I guess no one’s perfect, including the 07
Patriots!”
Peyton Manning said, “I gotta warn you, when you enter the
grocery store or step into your garage, there’s no entrance
music at all in retirement unless you play it yourself on
your AirPods. So that’s a free tip from me to you. Congrats
again, pal.”
It was a familiar scene with Snoop Dogg, who was filmed
smoking one.
“John Cena, it’s your boy, Big Snoop Dogg. You know what it
is. Congratulations, my one. I’mma smoke one.”
WWE performer and country music star Jelly Roll added, “John
Cena, the legendary, never-seen 17! Man, thank you for all
these years. Thank you for the inspiration. Thank you for
being the role model that we all needed. You deserve this,
brother. Congratulations, happy retirement!”
Late night host Jimmy Fallon congratulated Cena on an
amazing career and said that what Cena did for the sport and
for WWE was just insane.
“You’re a legend. Congratulations. Thank you, thank you,” he
said.
The New York Jets, New Orleans Saints, Miami Hurricanes,
MLB, and other sports entities also sent their
congratulations to Cena via posts on X.
