“Thank you so much for letting me play in the house that you built for so many years,” Cena told the crowd.
“I’ve been in the WWE for over two decades, and in that time, I’ve seen incredible waves of prosperity like we got right now.
“WWE is the hottest ticket in town, no doubt, but I have also seen true hardship, that’s when no one knows your name, nobody wants to be your friend and only the most dedicated and hardcore fans stand by your side.”
The “You can’t see me” crooner added that he wants to be involved when Raw moves to Netflix in January.
In a news conference after the event, Cena told reporters that he feels physically “at my end,” but that doesn’t mean he needs to distance himself from the sport he loves.
