Ring General promises to make John Cena quit after decimating LA Knight
Summary
– Gunther sent a message to John Cena in newly released footage
– The Ring General defeated LA Knight via submission on SmackDown
– Cena will face Gunther in his final match at Saturday Night’s Main Event
WWE has released exclusive footage of Gunther moments after his victory on SmackDown, adding a personal layer to his upcoming bout with John Cena. The video captures the Ring General immediately after he defeated LA Knight in the finals of the Last Time Is Now tournament. Gunther looks directly into the lens to deliver a final ultimatum to the sixteen-time World Champion.
The Austrian star did not mince words as he addressed his opponent for Saturday Night’s Main Event. He mocked Cena while referencing the submission victory he just secured against Knight. Gunther vowed that Cena would finally and definitely give up when they meet in Washington, D.C.
This unseen clip reinforces the narrative that Gunther intends to humiliate Cena rather than defeat him. The Intercontinental Champion dismantled LA Knight with a brutal array of offense before forcing a tap-out. He utilized a submission hold dangerously similar to Cena’s own STF to secure the win.
Cena’s final WWE match is now set against an opponent who is systematically targeting his legacy. Gunther has already retired Goldberg this year and looks to add another icon to his list. The footage confirms that the Ring General plans to end Cena’s career on his own terms.
