Ric Flair Congratulates John Cena After Superstar Breaks Record with 17th WWE Title

John Cena is going out in style.

The longtime wrestling superstar won the WWE Undisputed championship at Wrestlemania on Sunday night, defeating Cody Rhodes and continuing a farewell tour that will conclude with his retirement at the end of the year.

It was Cena's 17th WWE championship belt, a new record that surpassed Ric Flair. And the legend himself was quick to congratulate Cena on the accomplishment:

Before Sunday, Cena hadn't been a WWE champion since 2017, largely operating as a part-time performer while he also advanced his acting career.
