🔥 “Bigger Than WrestleMania!” Gunther Says Beating John Cena Changed His Career Forever
Gunther isn’t just winning matches — he’s rewriting WWE history. After shocking the WWE Universe by making John Cena tap out in what turned out to be Cena’s final match, The Ring General has finally opened up about just how massive that moment truly was for him. And according to Gunther, this wasn’t just another big win… it was the defining victory of his entire career.
Many fans are still divided over the finish. For some, seeing John Cena tap out didn’t feel like the farewell “The Champ” deserved. But for Gunther, the moment solidified his rise as WWE’s ultimate modern-day destroyer — a man who has now retired both Goldberg and John Cena. Legend Killer status? Fully earned.
Speaking on TMZ’s Inside The Ring, Gunther admitted that no victory in his career even comes close to beating Cena.
“It was definitely the biggest and most meaningful win of my career,” Gunther said. “The reaction afterward was unreal. John Cena is such a legendary figure — not just in WWE, but in all of wrestling — it’s really hard to compare this to anything else.”
What made the night even more intense was the atmosphere backstage. According to Gunther, everyone could feel the weight of history in the air.
“People were extremely tense all day,” he revealed. “Honestly, it felt more important than WrestleMania to a lot of people backstage. The clock was ticking, and it felt like a time bomb waiting to explode.”
And explode it did.
Gunther knew exactly what was coming. He knew the ending would shake the wrestling world — and when the moment finally arrived, it worked out perfectly in his favor.
Love it or hate it, one thing is undeniable: Gunther didn’t just beat John Cena — he walked away with a legacy-defining moment that may never be topped.
