WWE News: What is the hidden meaning behind John Cena's Armband?
John Cena delivered another one of his instant classics this Sunday at SummerSlam where he took on the former NJPW star AJ Styles in a one on one match.
However, while the match was seen as one of the best matches of John Cena's career as a professional wrestler, It's a gesture made by Cena following the bout which has become a hot topic among his fans on social Media.
As we reported before, John Cena lost the match against Aj Styles clean when Styles turned Cena's attempt to hit an Attitude Adjustment into a Phenomenal Forearm followed by a three count.
After AJ Styles pinned, Cena he went backstage celebrating his victory over the Leader of Cenation leaving him lying in the ring. Cena later took out his Armband, kissed it and then left it in the ring.
Ever since then, Fans have been trying to figure out what Cena meant to express via his gesture. Even WWE.com ran a story on the buzz surrounding this incident which mentioned some of the tweets made by fans as seen below:
As seen in the above tweets many fans are seeing as a sign that John Cena might have given up on his duties as the Face That Runs The Place and we may not see Cena wrestling for a while.
It's notable here that Cena has reduced his WWE schedule in the past several months and he is also rumored to take a couple of months off for filming the second season of his TV Reality Show American Grit following the mega event.
While this gesture could simply mean that Cena has accepted AJ Styles' credibility as a wrestler, the instigation from WWE by running a story on it has lit the fire to the rumors that this could be a symbolic start of the end of Cena's journey as a professional wrestler.
