For that occasion, Cena answered an open challenge from Kurt Angle, who promptly asked the then 25-year-old Cena which quality gave him the confidence to step up. Cena famously proclaimed that he possessed “ruthless aggression,” which he then displayed in his in-ring battle with the former WWE Champion. Stillm Angle went on to defeat the young star with a double chicken wing pin.

Fast forward to 2025, Cena hugged Angle at ringside before competing in his final match at Saturday Night’s Main Event with GUNTHER as his opponent. Elsewhere, Bayley faced “WWE NXT” star Sol Ruca while sporting her Cena-inspired ring gear and an arm band that read “Never Give Up.” Both Cena and Bayley lost at SNME, with Cena tapping out to a sleeper hold and Bayley being pinned.
