GUNTHER Reacts to Being John Cena’s Final WWE Opponent – Bold Message to the GOAT
The countdown to John Cena’s final WWE match has officially begun — and GUNTHER is wasting no time sending a powerful message to the 16-time World Champion.
On last night’s episode of WWE SmackDown, GUNTHER defeated LA Knight in the finals of the Last Time Is Now Tournament, securing his spot as Cena’s last-ever opponent. The match ended with GUNTHER forcing Knight to tap out using a Cravat submission — a move the commentators compared to Cena’s iconic STF.
After the victory, the Austrian powerhouse made his intentions very clear. He said he plans to make Cena “give up” — a direct challenge to Cena’s legendary motto, Never Give Up.
Today, GUNTHER doubled down on social media with a fiery message:
“LA Knight tapped out… Cena will give up!”
That one line has already sent shockwaves through the WWE Universe.
Cena vs. GUNTHER – A Historic Final Chapter
The showdown will take place at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13, marking the end of Cena’s emotional Farewell Tour.
Over the past year, Cena has faced some of the biggest names in the business — Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, Randy Orton, Brock Lesnar, AJ Styles, Sami Zayn, Logan Paul, Dominik Mysterio, R-Truth and more — building toward this final battle.
Meanwhile, GUNTHER enters this match with enormous momentum:
- Longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion in history
- Former World Heavyweight Champion
- Winner of The Last Time Is Now Tournament, defeating Je’Von Evans, Carmelo Hayes, Solo Sikoa, and LA Knight
The Ring General has proven himself as one of WWE’s most dominant modern-day Superstars — but can he be the one to close the book on Cena’s legendary career?
