John Cena’s legendary pro wrestling career is officially over.

The WWE star tapepd out in sleeper hold in his final match against Gunther at “Saturday Night’s Main Event” in front of an announced crowd of 19, 232 at Capital One Arena on Saturday.

Cena fought his way out of Gunther’s signature hold multiple times — even having one final Attitude Adjustment finisher in him before the “Ring General” slapped it on him for a sixth time. An exhausted Cena finally tapped his hand to submit to his final opponent.

It's over.
