John Cena’s final PLE match was, much like the last couple of months of his retirement tour, a masterclass in putting as many people over as possible. What could’ve been a simple win for Dominik Mysterio saw Cena share the ring with Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez, both of whom performed modified versions of moves from Cena’s arsenal (the Code Red and the spinout powerbomb), and also served as the return of women’s star Liv Morgan.

I’m not saying he moved heaven and earth for these women, but if you had asked me how many women Cena would’ve put over in his final PLE match, I would’ve guessed 0, possibly 1, what with WWE’s restrictions on intergender matches.

We’re about to head into Cena’s final match, which will likely be all about him and whoever wins the Last Time Is Now Tournament. This was Cena’s last chance to take as much of the “Raw” roster on his shoulders as possible and move along the storylines that will be running when he takes his final curtain. Cena’s reputation is one of professionalism, first and foremost, and the display on Saturday was one last chance for him to do something bigger than himself.
