Viral Hatred Erupts Toward Triple H After John Cena Retirement Match Loss

John Cena is now a retired WWE Superstar. He left a huge impression on the pro wrestling world, but he went out in controversial fashion.

Saturday Night’s Main Event was a historic night, and it saw John Cena tapping out to GUNTHER at the end of a brutal match. Fans didn’t like how it all ended, and they let Triple H know about it.

Triple H was booed in relentless fashion after John Cena tapped out to GUNTHER. That being said, fans had zero chill on social media, because Triple H became an instant heel thanks to the GOAT’s retirement match booking.

WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event was positioned as a historic night for John Cena, but the aftermath online quickly became dominated by a wave of anger directed at Triple H and WWE’s creative direction. As the show wrapped up, social media erupted with viral reactions criticizing the booking of Cena’s match and the way the moment was handled.

One fan wrote bluntly, “TRIPLE H GETS LUCKY BOOED. DESERVED.” Another echoed the growing sentiment, posting, “Every city he goes into, everybody uses ‘Triple H, you boo,’ on the f*ck out of him.” Another said, “Triple H is officially the worst booker of all time.”

Several tweets accused WWE of mishandling Cena’s farewell. One user wrote, “I’m glad the crowd is starting to boo Triple H. Creative needs to wake up.” Another added, “The hugging Cena and laughing Gunther was the most disrespectful of this retirement tour.” For many, that visual moment became symbolic of their frustration with the booking.

The criticism escalated further as emotions ran high. One post read simply, “F*ck YOU TRIPLE H.” Plenty of fans, other than the 19,000 fans in Washington, DC who chanted “you f*cked up” at Triple H, had a lot to say.

Some fans framed their anger around Cena’s legacy and emotional connection to the audience. One tweet stated, “F*ck you and Triple H, man. Can’t believe they did Cena like this.” Another wrote, “This match could have been done in any other way. This felt wrong.” The recurring theme was that Cena’s loss, particularly its execution, didn’t match the weight of the moment.

Not everyone focused solely on the finish itself. One widely shared tweet said, “Gunther ain’t sh*t. Only geeks think this was a good ending. Holy f*ck, Triple H wants to kill wrestling.” While the language was extreme, it reflected the depth of frustration among a vocal segment of the fanbase.

Another fan framed the reaction as a broader indictment of WWE’s current creative leadership, writing, “I officially don’t acknowledge Triple H anymore. Mark. Dude married the boss’s daughter to only f*ck his career. Dude now f*ed Cena’s last match.” The post quickly spread as part of the larger backlash. We will keep our eyes peeled for more on this story, but fans certainly aren’t happy about John Cena’s final match.
