Former WWE heavyweight champion Gunther has earned the chance to face WWE legend John Cena to mark Cena’s farewell match. Gunther secured this opportunity by winning the prestigious ‘The Last Time is Now’ tournament.
The tournament final saw Gunther take on LA Knight during a live SmackDown event. After a fierce and intense battle, Gunther finally submitted Knight with a Modified STF, asserting his dominance and proving why he is considered one of WWE’s top competitors. This victory officially set the stage for his first-ever match against John Cena to take place at WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13.
Gunther, often called the “Ring General,” was favored to win the tournament. He had previously made headlines for retiring WWE legend Goldberg earlier this year, showcasing his strength and skill. Fans are eagerly anticipating how Gunther will perform against John Cena to either secure a historic victory or honor Cena with a memorable farewell match.
John Cena to step into the ring one last time is a moment WWE fans have been waiting for. The 17-time world champion has had an illustrious career spanning decades, and this matchup will allow him to conclude it in a major spotlight. Whether Cena goes out with a victory or allows Gunther to claim a win, the event promises unforgettable action.
In the buildup, Friday’s tournament final highlighted Gunther’s dominance. After locking LA Knight in a Rear-Naked Choke, Knight struggled to escape but eventually succumbed to Gunther’s Modified STF. The match sent a clear message to John Cena to expect a highly competitive showdown.
This December, wrestling fans can witness history as Gunther faces one of WWE’s most iconic stars. John Cena to take part in his farewell match against Gunther is set to be a highlight of the wrestling calendar, blending nostalgia with new rivalries.
