Randy Orton shared an emotional tribute to John Cena on Monday night, days after Cena’s retirement match at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event in Washington D.C. Orton was unable to attend Cena’s emotional sendoff in person, as he was in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia promoting Riyadh Season and the upcoming Royal Rumble.
Randy Orton posted the following message on Instagram, regarding John Cena’s WWE retirement:
I broke into the wrestling business and grew up for the past 2 decades alongside @johncena I wrestled with or against him 100 times, at least. I would have enjoyed being there in DC for #wwe #snme and witness his emotional send off into retirement. But I know if ANYONE understands my absence, it’s John, because I was in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia #KSA promoting #riyadhseason and #royalrumble. The morning of his retirement we exchanged a few texts, and I was honored to speak with him on such a big day. I look forward to following John’s career in Hollywood AND beyond. Skys the limit with this guy. An inspiration not only to generations of fans, but to myself, who was lucky enough to learn firsthand from one of the most OVER wrestlers ever. Thanks for being so good to my family over the years and thanks for making the locker room a better place. Take care John, and I’ll see ya around.
