Gunther Vows To End John Cena’s Unbeatable 20-Year WWE Streak — And Fans Are Stunned
John Cena’s final WWE match was already set to be an emotional moment… but Gunther has just raised the stakes to a whole new level.
The Ring General isn’t just aiming to defeat Cena — he wants to make him tap out.
For a man whose entire legacy is built on the motto “Never Give Up,” a submission loss would be the harshest possible ending to his legendary career.
Cena will officially step into the ring one last time this Saturday at Saturday Night’s Main Event in Washington, DC. His opponent, the dangerous Australian powerhouse Gunther, earned this massive opportunity by winning the Last Time Is Now tournament, defeating LA Knight in the finals.
But what’s sending shockwaves through the WWE Universe is Gunther’s bold challenge:
He wants John Cena — the 16-time World Champion, the man who never quits — to say “I give up.”
Gunther Makes His Intentions Clear
Speaking on The Rich Eisen Show, Gunther didn’t shy away from spelling out exactly what he wants.
“I’m looking for him to give up… to admit he can’t go no more. That’s what I’m going for. That’s where the drama is in this match.”
And the drama is real.
Cena hasn’t lost a match by submission in nearly 20 years. The last time he tapped out was back in 2005 against Kurt Angle — a moment still replayed in WWE history clips.
So, if Gunther manages to make Cena submit on Saturday, he won’t just close the book on Cena’s incredible career…
He’ll also snap an unbroken two-decade streak that fans thought would last forever.
If that happens, Gunther might walk away with one of the biggest wins of his career — but he’ll also leave the Cena fanbase absolutely heartbroken.
