Cody Rhodes dropped the Undisputed WWE Championship to John Cena at WrestleMania 41
“This is what he asked. We’ve had situations like that before, it’s the greatest of all time and John Cena is not the type to give anything up. He’s been saying it for years: the guy or girl, whoever it is that’s gonna take his spot is gonna take it. And that’s the closest I can offer to respect, but also ‘Alright. Alright my friend, time to go.’

"And again, I’m still reeling off the fact that this wonderful crowd [in] MetLife Stadium — we won’t see one like John Cena again, but what you guys do as an audience is you give someone like me an opportunity. You give someone an opportunity to be there for you. God bless you guys, you’ve been an incredible host. Thank you so much, guys.”
