WWE’s John Cena appears at MassMutual in Springfield, fans react
The night was already special as Monday Night Raw aired from Springfield for the very first time, but the atmosphere became electric when John Cena stepped into the ring. Wearing maroon and white gear in honor of Springfield College, his alma mater, Cena opened the show with an emotional promo.
He reminded younger fans that before WWE, he played football just “up the street” at Springfield College, where he wore the No. 54 jersey. As one fan wrote on Twitter, “Springfield College raised a true legend.”
Cena also acknowledged that some of his former teammates were in attendance, making the moment even more meaningful. He shared how Springfield College shaped his resilience and prepared him for the grind of WWE, saying, “Springfield College prepared me for life in the WWE.”
The crowd erupted into chants as Cena addressed his upcoming showdown against Brock Lesnar at Wrestlepalooza, admitting that “Brock is damn near invincible” but vowing to fight for his legacy. One fan posted, “JOHN CENA MAKING ONE OF HIS FINAL FEW ENTRANCES EVER IN WWE. ONLY 6 DATES LEFT AFTER THIS.”
Cena also laced up his boots for one more match in Springfield. The crowd erupted as he squared off against Sami Zayn in a United States Title bout. The contest was intense, with both men delivering hard-hitting moves. Just when Cena seemed to have victory in sight, Brock Lesnar stormed the ring. The Beast Incarnate unleashed chaos, hitting multiple F-5s on both Cena and Zayn, leaving the ring destroyed and no clean finish.
For fans, the outcome mattered less than the moment itself—seeing their hometown hero fight under the Raw lights in Springfield one last time. As one wrote, “Every time it’s chills, but it’s also heartbreaking.”
