After the highlight package at the mid-way point of RAW, the crowd began to cheer for Cena. Perhaps growing antsy that Cena was not going to appear in front of the live audience.

He thanked the crowd for their twenty years of loyalty and all the cheers and boos. As he said “Thank you” to the public, the group broke out in a “Thank you Cena!” chant.
“For 20 years, you have created an environment for me to be my true self. You’ve also been brave enough to tell me when I suck and you’ve also been kind enough to tell me when I don’t.”@JohnCena #WWERaw pic.twitter.com/h6y2jp1dAb

He went on to say how being in the WWE taught him to be a better, more empathetic person. He got a little bit emotional during this part.

Cena mentioned that he does not know when he will be in the ring again. He said he isn’t retired yet but does not know when he will wrestle again. He answered a “one more match” chant to say that he would wrestle more than once.
He built up a big chant. And then he thanked the crowd, left up the ramp, and posed with a shirtless pic with some fans.
cena could come out wearing a astronaut suit but he gon leave only wearing jorts and shoes everytime

And that was it. A simple, heartfelt speech. I love this man.
Not me watching John Cena reflect on the guy I started watching at 12 years old and getting emotional. Thank you so much for everything @JohnCena #WWERaw
