John Cena is approaching his final match in the wrestling world, with rising speculation regarding his opponent. Several insiders have indicated that Gunther may end up being the one to face Cena at the upcoming Saturday Night’s Main Event. Cena is currently engaged in a tournament, competing against LA Knight in the finals of “The Last Time Is Now” on RAW next week.
Concerns Over Cena’s Retirement Match
While many fans see Gunther as a fitting choice to retire Cena, not everyone agrees. Cena’s father, John Cena Sr., has voiced strong opposition to this potential scenario. He stated that Gunther is not the right person to conclude Cena’s storied career.
- John Cena Sr.’s Perspective: Cena Sr. expressed his belief that fans would not welcome Gunther in this role, saying, “Gunther does not need the rub.” He also criticized the tradition of a veteran passing the torch to a new contender in such a manner.
Cena’s Recent Matches and Losses
Recently, Cena faced off against Dominik Mysterio at Survivor Series: WarGames, where he lost the Intercontinental Championship. The thought of finishing his career with another defeat raises concerns among his supporters.
Cena Sr. commented on the impact of a potential loss, questioning the benefit for either Gunther or LA Knight if Cena were to lose again. He believes Cena has already helped elevate other wrestlers like Cody Rhodes during his career.
Seniors Suggestions for a Dream Match
Looking at Cena’s legacy, Cena Sr. suggested a dream match against Kurt Angle. He felt this would have been a memorable farewell for Cena, citing the previous opportunity where Angle’s retirement match was against Baron Corbin instead. Many fans share this sentiment regarding the lack of a suitable opponent for Angle during his final match.
Future Induction into WWE Hall of Fame
As Cena prepares for his last match, he remains a significant figure in wrestling history. Plans are already in motion for Cena’s induction into the WWE Hall of Fame next year, ensuring his legacy will endure beyond his retirement.
With only two weeks left until his final appearance, fans and insiders eagerly anticipate what the future holds for John Cena after this momentous occasion.
