John Cena Sr. isn’t a fan of Gunther potentially being his son’s final WWE opponent.
Cena’s Last Time Is Now Tournament has been progressing rapidly, with the two finalists being LA Knight and Gunther. This falls in line with reports of The Ring General likely being the Cenation Leader’s final opponent at the upcoming Saturday Night’s Main Event show.
Appearing on the “All Axxess Podcast,” John Cena Sr. explained why his son doesn’t need to put anyone over in his final encounter. He especially claimed that GUNTHER shouldn’t be the one to face The Cenation Leader and retire him.
“Well, it certainly wouldn’t be GUNTHER, that’s for sure. I don’t think that’s a wise move. I don’t think the fans would enjoy that move.”
“GUNTHER does not need the rub. And by the way, I’m not a fan of the whole ‘on the way out you’ve got to push somebody over the top’ idea. You’re supposed to pass the torch—but I don’t know if that’s written anywhere in professional wrestling.”
“If we have to use that as an analogy, then he’s already done that with Cody Rhodes. He beat him for the title. He gave the title back. They embraced, Cody was teary-eyed. The torch was passed.”
“I think he’s given the rub along the way, especially with Dominik Mysterio. That was a tremendous deal.”
