Gunther Wins John Cena Tournament: Ring General Earns Final Match Spot
Gunther ending John Cena’s career isn’t just the right call — it’s the smartest booking decision WWE has made in years.

Cena doesn’t need a nostalgia match against someone he’s already beaten a dozen times. He needs to put over the future of the company on the way out, and Gunther is exactly that guy. Here’s why WWE finally got a retirement storyline right and what it means for the Ring General’s legacy.
