5 Ups & 8 Downs From John Cena's WWE Retirement Tour

1. The Worst WrestleMania Main Event Ever?

How bad was the WrestleMania 41 main event between Cody Rhodes and John Cena?

Let’s put it this way: It was already a bad match being wrestled at half-speed and boring as hell before the slowest run-in in wrestling history. The match itself was dull, with Cody having to slow himself down to match Cena’s plodding pace as he controlled much of the match.

But when “Fe!n” hit and Travis Scott appeared at the entrance, things went even further downhill. Scott proceeded to saunter to the ring in slow motion and provide the distraction needed for Cena to defeat Rhodes and capture the Undisputed WWE Championship.

WWE sacrificed Cody’s reputation (he stupidly fell for Cena’s beg-off), Cena's final Mania match, and the entire vibe of the show (a reminder that WrestleMania 41 Sunday opened with the excellent Women’s World Championship triple threat) for the viral moment of Travis Scott strolling down the ramp to interfere in the main event. It killed the show dead, and it all but guaranteed that this Cena heel run was going to be an abysmal failure.

What a horrible, awful, no-good match.
