Gunther vs John Cena: Will Cena's Retirement End in Submission? (2026)

Prepare yourselves, wrestling fans, because Gunther is plotting something truly memorable for John Cena's final WWE match! It's not just about a win; it's about etching a moment into wrestling history.

Gunther, the formidable two-time World Heavyweight Champion, has his sights set on more than just a victory. He aims to be the one to decisively end Cena's year-long retirement tour in a way that will resonate with fans for years to come. And this is where it gets interesting: Gunther intends to be the first to make Cena submit since 2005, when Kurt Angle achieved the feat.

Cena, a true icon at 48 years old, has only tapped out a mere four times throughout his illustrious WWE career, famously embodying the 'Never Give Up' spirit. This makes Gunther's goal all the more significant.

Gunther earned this potentially career-defining opportunity by triumphing over L.A. Knight in the Last Time is Now Tournament. Now, with the highly anticipated 'Saturday Night's Main Event' (scheduled for 8 p.m. on Peacock this weekend) looming, Gunther sat down with The Post's Joseph Staszewski for a revealing Q&A.

But here's where it gets controversial... Could Gunther's strategy be seen as disrespectful to Cena's legacy, or is it simply a strategic move in the world of professional wrestling? What do you think about the potential outcome of the match? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
