Mark Henry, on an episode of WWE Raw, pulled off one of the biggest swerves in WWE history when he stood across John Cena and announced that he would be retiring, only to turn on Cena and lay him out.

The Worlds's Strongest man claimed the moment was so real because the promo was unscripted and he "emotionally got to" John Cena and the Cenation leader couldn't hold back his tears.

“It was easy to draw the emotion of the moment because it was real. I just knew that, at some point, I’m gonna have to shut the waterworks off and focus on doing business with John Cena, and John Cena was standing at ringside. And it was really impromptu,” Henry noted. “It wasn’t something that was planned. John tried to give me the title, and I just told him, ‘No, I don’t deserve to hold that. I never won that. I’m not gonna do it,’ and he just started crying because I had emotionally got to him." added Henry. (H/T- WrestlingInc)
