2025-12-14 WOL: John Cena's Farewell Match

This week's major news revolves around the retirement of John Cena, whose final match took place Saturday night on Saturday Night's Main Event. I offered a detailed show review and shared my reaction to the controversial decision to have him lose his final match, debating whether it was the right choice given the immediate fan outrage that followed. Also, I talk about the rest of the card and the decision to have a DQ finish between Cody Rhodes and Oba Femi. This is a crutch WWE relies on too much. I discuss other ways they could have handled this match. Plus, a review of AEW Collision, thoughts on who's going to win the Continental Classic, and the pending return of a big star this week.
