Pro wrestling superstar John Cena ended his 24-year WWE tenure at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., by doing what he hadn't done in more than 20 years: He tapped out.
Cena submitted to former two-time WWE heavyweight champion Gunther at "Saturday Night's Main Event" in a stellar final match that had the crowd hanging on to every moment, hoping that Cena would go out with a win.
Instead, Cena's tap-out signaled to fans that his time is finally over, and he is going out on his terms
Cena signed with WWE in 2001 under the name The Prototype and made his "SmackDown" debut under his real name in a losing effort to Kurt Angle on June 27, 2002. Cena struggled as a singles wrestler until he adopted the "Doctor of Thuganomics" heel character that saw him perform freestyle raps in promos.
