# Randeep Hooda's Touching Tribute to WWE Legend John Cena: A Legacy of Hustle and Heart **Imagine stepping into the ring with the man who's defined wrestling for decades—then discovering his true character off the mat.** That's exactly what Bollywood star Randeep Hooda experienced while co-starring with John Cena in the upcoming film *Matchbox*, and his recent Instagram tribute as Cena retires from WWE has fans worldwide emotional.[1][3][4] Randeep shared a heartfelt collage of Cena on his Instagram Stories, reflecting on their time together. "Working with John Cena showed me the man behind the icon, **disciplined, grounded, and generous at heart**," he wrote. He praised Cena's journey from the WWE ring to Hollywood, crediting his success to **sheer hard work and humility** that inspired millions across ages, genders, and backgrounds—from 8 to 80.[1] As Cena bows out after a final match against Gunther, Randeep called it "not an end but a **celebration of an incredible legacy**. Salute to a true legend."[1] Cena's retirement at 48 stems from his promise to WWE: he'd step away when his skills no longer matched the product. A 16-time world champion, he's embodied "Hustle, Loyalty, Respect," evolving from wrestler to global entertainer and role model.[1][2] Tributes poured in from peers like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who hailed Cena's kindness, and The Undertaker, who echoed "nice job" from Cena's debut 23 years ago.[2] Even Varun Dhawan and others reacted to the news, underscoring Cena's massive impact.[2] This crossover of Bollywood and WWE highlights universal values like perseverance and grace under pressure. Randeep's words remind us why icons like Cena endure—they're not just performers, but inspirations who stay humble amid stardom.[1]
