5 Biggest takeaways from John Cena vs Roman Reigns

#3 Is this it for John Cena?

Was No Mercy goodbye?

When John Cena lost to the Rock at WrestleMania 28, there was a sense of disappointment...even dejection that emanated from him.

But after losing to Roman Reigns at No Mercy, John Cena's bow to the audience seemed to betray an undercurrent of unmistakable relief.

Through the torrents of vitriol that he's endured with a smile on his face and a spring in his step this past decade, it would seem that, finally, the John Cena machine has run its course; that he's ready to move on to the next phase in his life after passing the proverbial torch to Roman Reigns.

Indeed, he himself admitted to as much in his candid and emotional Raw Talk interview after the event.

So is this the last we've seen of John Cena, the wrestler?

I'm guessing not, but perhaps it's time to start appreciating the man for all his contributions because who's to say we'll get too many more chances to do so?
