Vince Russo Questions Why Triple H Hasn’t Been Fired After Failed John Cena’s Farewell Tour

John Cena’s emotional farewell may have left fans teary-eyed — but Vince Russo just left no doubt about how he feels: the entire run was an absolute disaster.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Russo didn’t just focus on Cena tapping out to GUNTHER — he attacked the entire picture, from business trends to creative decisions, claiming the farewell run failed on every level.

"We’ve got to talk about John Cena — I mean, wow. I bring this up all the time. I bring this up all the time. Numbers continue to go down — we’re seeing trends. They lost Fox. ESPN is allegedly not happy."

Russo then pointed to WWE’s streaming performance, suggesting the company’s momentum has already cooled off on Netflix.

"Bro, I love this right off the bat — they’re out of the top 10 on Netflix for two weeks in a row. And what’s everybody reporting? ‘Well, this premiered on Netflix this week, and that premiered on Netflix.’ Bro, they haven’t even been on for a year, and they’re already falling out of the top 10."

But the real meat of Russo’s rant was Cena himself. He questioned how anyone could look at the full retirement tour — from start to finish — and feel it did justice to one of WWE’s biggest stars. He especially wondered how Triple H did not get fired after booking Cena’s tour so badly.

“How can anybody look at this booking of John Cena's farewell tour from day one to what we saw over the weekend? How can anybody look at the entire picture and say, ‘How in God's name does Triple H not get fired?’”

Russo argued that Cena never truly had a really memorable moment during the run, instead being booked to lose repeatedly or rely on outside interference.

“Name me one spot. Name me one time when Cena shined… He got his ass kicked by Brock Lesnar. He got—he lost his last two matches on the way out.”

He also went after WWE for John Cena’s 17th World Title win during the run, noting it didn’t even feel like Cena’s moment since Travis Scott helped him win in the first place.

“When he won the title, IT WAS TRAVIS SCOTT. TRAVIS SCOTT HELPED to win the title. I don't even know how to describe the heel turn.”

Russo ended it by challenging anyone to point out a single defining highlight from the entire farewell tour.

“What was the one highlight of his farewell tour? What was the one highlight?”

This comes after Triple H defended Cena losing to GUNTHER, saying it was about tradition, doing what’s right for the business, and Cena leaving WWE better than he found it. Russo clearly isn’t buying that explanation — and he’s putting the blame squarely on bad creative.

Love him or hate him, Vince Russo’s words are now part of the conversation around Cena’s retirement, and he’s not backing down.
