Punk says one tournament name stands above the rest for Cena’s final opponent
Summary
– Cena wrestles his retirement match on December 13 at Saturday Night’s Main Event
– A loaded tournament field is competing for the final spot opposite Cena
– Punk believes Gunther is the strongest candidate among the current entrants
John Cena’s retirement match is locked in for December 13 during WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, and a high-stakes tournament continues to determine who will face him in his final outing. The field includes Gunther, Solo Sikoa, Jey Uso, Rusev, LA Knight, and one mystery entrant yet to be revealed.
Speaking on Up & Adams with Kay Adams, CM Punk shared his thoughts on who the ideal opponent would be. Punk said that in a perfect world, he would have been the right choice to close out Cena’s career, but within the actual tournament lineup, he sees one clear favorite.
Punk named Gunther as the most likely and most fitting challenger, pointing to his firsthand experience in the ring with the former Intercontinental Champion. He stressed that Gunther’s physical presence and in-ring dominance make him the toughest competitor in the bracket.
With the tournament narrowing and Cena’s final match approaching, Punk’s endorsement adds even more weight to the growing belief that Gunther may be the man to stand across from the 16-time champion on December 13.
