Mark Henry Describes Emotional Backstage Scene After John Cena’s Final WWE Match – WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry has provided insight into the emotional atmosphere backstage following John Cena’s retirement match at Saturday Night’s Main Event, offering a vivid picture of how deeply the moment affected the locker room.

Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Henry described a scene that he compared to moments of collective grief rarely seen in wrestling. According to Henry, the reaction backstage went far beyond a standard post-match farewell, underscoring the respect and admiration Cena earned throughout his career.

“I walked through the back… and there was a line of about thirty or forty people to get to John, hugging and consoling him,” Henry said. “I mean, people were emotional. It’s been a while since… the last time I seen people crying emotional like that was… somebody passed away.”

Henry’s comments reflect just how significant Cena’s departure from in-ring competition was to those who shared locker rooms, roads, and major events with him over the years. While the match itself marked the end of an era, Henry stressed that Cena’s presence in the broader entertainment world will continue.

“John is still alive and well. He’s going to Hollywood… You’re gonna keep hearing him, every day… He’s not going away. He’s just going away from the ring,” Henry explained.

The Hall of Famer also addressed the live crowd’s reaction during the match, particularly toward Gunther, who defeated Cena in his final bout. Henry noted that the audience response was intense and unrelenting.

“All I know is this, Dave, they better get the dump button ready for every show because they said ‘f-you, GUNTHER’ throughout the whole match,” Henry said.

The reaction highlights just how emotionally invested fans were in Cena’s final performance, with the crowd fully rallying behind him until the very end. Cena’s retirement match has already become one of the most talked-about moments in recent WWE history, not only for the result but for the raw emotion it generated both in the arena and behind the scenes.
