The 17-time world champion capped his legendary RAW career by teaming with Rey Mysterio and Sheamus for a six-man tag team victory at Madison Square Garden.

After the final pinfall, Cena celebrated with his trademark "You Can't See Me" gesture, soaking in the arena's thunderous appreciation. Seeing "Five Knuckle Shuffle" performed with other WWE stars is indeed a rare moment that fans didn't miss in the ring.

The entire crowd showered him with heartfelt "Thank you, Cena" chants before the match, which brought visible emotion to the face of the superstar.

The energy set the tone for a rush of nostalgia, surprise twists, and even some fiery confrontations during this farewell segment.

Dominik Mysterio Confronts Cena and Demands a Title Shot

Cena's emotional address to the crowd then took a sharp turn as Dominik Mysterio interrupted, accusing Cena of getting an unearned title opportunity the previous week.

According to Bleacher Report, Mysterio challenged Cena for his Intercontinental Championship and wanted to do it at Madison Square Garden.

Cena accepted the challenge, until Mysterio suddenly changed the terms.

Instead of facing Cena in New York, Mysterio insisted the match take place in his hometown of San Diego. Cena didn't hesitate.

"You want your rematch in your backyard at Survivor Series on ESPN? San Diego, California? You and me, for the Intercontinental Championship? No problem. I accept."

Chaos Erupts as The Judgment Day Attacks

Before the newly agreed match could go any further, JD McDonagh and Finn Balor stormed the ring and blindsided Cena. Sheamus rushed in to provide backup, as did Rey Mysterio, causing a short ringside brawl.

In pure Cena fashion, he transformed that chaos into an opportunity, challenging Dominik, Balor, and McDonagh to a six-man tag match. The crowd was on their feet as Cena, Rey, and Sheamus dominated their opponents and sealed a celebratory victory for Cena's final Raw appearance.

John Cena's retirement match will take place soon, and it's expected to conclude on Dec. 13. If you're planning to watch this once-in-a-lifetime show, the best time to buy the tickets is now.
