Triple H comments on WWE icon John Cena

Speaking during Saturday Night's Main Event post-show, Triple H stated that while John Cena's in-ring career may have come to an end, his passion for WWE remains intact.

The Game then highlighted how The Cenation Leader got to finish things on his own terms, which very few wrestlers get to do in the pro wrestling business.

"John Cena's passion for WWE didn't end tonight. John Cena's in-ring career ended tonight, his competitive stature. It's rare that people, one, see the end there and then think this is exactly how I want to go out and then get to do it. And that's what John got to do tonight. He had his sort of farewell run this year on his terms and got to do it here in a way tonight that just, it meant the world to him. I could see it in his eyes as he was performing, just having the time of his life. One thing I know about John is every time I've seen him going to that ring, he's had a blast doing it and tonight was no different."

It will be interesting to see how the landscape of WWE changes under Triple H following John Cena's in-ring retirement.
