John Cena officially retired from professional wrestling this weekend, and had some famous pals sent him congratulatory messages.

Speaking to WWE, Rhodes revealed the best advice he’s received from Cena. “The best advice that John Cena has ever given me, and he’s given it to numerous talent — it sounds redundant but it’s really not. Listen to the audience. If you do, you’ll never go wrong,” he said.

In the end, there were no surprises. No run-ins or plot twists. No headline-stealing appearances from The Rock. Instead, WWE played it straight and simple with John Cena's swan song — as it knew it had to do.
