WWE higher-ups were reportedly surprised by the fans' negative reaction to John Cena tapping out to Gunther in his retirement match at Saturday Night's Main Event over the weekend.

Gunther wasted no time basking in the hate of the WWE Universe for retiring John Cena tonight on Monday Night RAW.

John Cena removed his wrestling shoes, wristbands, and armbands and placed them in the center of the ring, symbolizing the official end of his in-ring career.
