🔥 GUNTHER’s Next Target REVEALED? WWE’s Shocking WrestleMania 42 Plan After Cena’s Tap-Out Retirement
GUNTHER didn’t just win a match at Saturday Night’s Main Event — he shook WWE to its core. In a moment that will live forever in wrestling history, The Ring General forced John Cena to tap out, sending the 17-time World Champion into retirement in the most unthinkable way possible. No pinfall. No fluke. Just pure dominance. And GUNTHER made sure everyone felt it.
GUNTHER Takes Victory Laps — And Crosses the Line
On RAW, GUNTHER strutted to the ring laughing, soaking in the moment like a conqueror. Mocking Cena without hesitation, he declared that the era of legends was over — and that WWE now belonged to him.
Backstage, the fallout was immediate.
- R-Truth didn’t mince words, calling GUNTHER “trash.”
- Adam Pearce flat-out told him to leave the building.
- On his way out, GUNTHER crossed paths with AJ Styles — and capped things off with a cold-blooded “You Can’t See Me” taunt.

WWE’s Current WrestleMania 42 Plan? A True Dream Match
According to Self Made Pro, WWE’s long-term vision for WrestleMania 42 is massive — and it centers squarely around GUNTHER.
👉 GUNTHER vs. Brock Lesnar is the current plan.
Yes, that Brock Lesnar.
This is the same blockbuster showdown WWE originally hoped to deliver at WrestleMania 40 before Lesnar was removed from programming following his mention in the Vince McMahon–Janel Grant lawsuit. Now, with time passed and momentum rebuilt, WWE appears ready to revisit the clash fans have been begging for.
Two unstoppable forces. One ring. One WrestleMania moment.
Other Huge WrestleMania 42 Matches Being Discussed
The rumored card doesn’t stop there. WWE is reportedly also considering:
- Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Roman Reigns – Undisputed WWE Championship
- CM Punk (c) vs. Bron Breakker – World Heavyweight Championship
Notably, Punk vs. Breakker is already scheduled for the January 5th episode of RAW, potentially setting the stage for something even bigger down the road.
Cena’s Farewell Was More Real Than Anyone Knew
Behind the scenes, Cena’s final match wasn’t as scripted as fans might think.
Reports indicate that several emotional moments — including Cody Rhodes’ heartfelt ringside interview — were completely unplanned. Wrestlers reacted in real time, driven by genuine respect and emotion as Cena said goodbye.
The result? One of the most authentic farewell moments WWE has ever produced.
The Bottom Line
GUNTHER didn’t just retire John Cena — he positioned himself as WWE’s most dangerous man. And if the road truly leads to Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 42, the Ring General’s reign of terror may only be getting started.
One legend is gone. Another monster may be waiting.
And WrestleMania 42 is already starting to feel must-see. 💥
