The wrestling world lit up on New Year’s Eve when longtime WWE superfan Brock Lesnar Guy announced he’s officially stepping away from attending live wrestling events after 25 years. But while the farewell triggered mixed reactions — including a savage jab from AEW World Champion MJF — John Cena offered a very different kind of response.
In true Cena fashion, the 17-time World Champion didn’t post a long message or a farewell thread. Instead, he let a single photo do the talking. Cena posted a picture of Brock Lesnar Guy — fists clenched, passion on full display, standing near ringside — with zero caption. The post landed, especially for those who know Cena’s history of letting subtle Instagram uploads speak louder than words.
No hashtags. No commentary. Just a throwback image of a fan who’s become iconic in WWE arenas for more than two decades.
That day prior, Brock Lesnar Guy had posted a heartfelt farewell video showing him solemnly placing his trademark Lesnar shirt on an empty chair, saying:
“For over 25 years I’ve experienced some amazing moments attending wrestling shows. But now… it’s time to move on.”
While MJF responded by saying, “Wrestlers, we need to start hitting fans again,” Cena countered with quiet respect — acknowledging the impact fans like Brock Lesnar Guy have had on WWE’s legacy without needing to say a word.
Whether you think the retirement video was heartfelt or over-the-top, Cena’s gesture stood in stark contrast to the usual noise — proving once again why he’s one of the most respected names in the business.
Was it the perfect way to acknowledge a superfan’s legacy — or were you expecting more from someone so closely tied to WWE history? Drop your thoughts below and let us know where you stand
