Gunther earned the opportunity to challenge Cena in his retirement match by winning is 16 men tournament, which was organised to determine the final opponent of The Greatest of All Time.

John Cena had his farewell match against Gunther on December 13
“What I really love about John’s ending is that he left on his terms. I talk about this in my book, about beating the house. Very, very, very few professional athletes get to beat the house. Very few get to leave on their own terms. Most people leave because they’re forced into it, they’re forced into retirement, they have to go.
“John did what Jerry Seinfeld did. Jerry Seinfeld stopped doing his own show when he was like the #1 show on television. And I remember when I was a kid, I used to love Seinfeld. My mom and my sisters and I would always watch it together. It was like, something we did together, and we love that show.
Gunther is a two times WWE World Heavyweight Champion
"And I was devastated when Seinfeld went off the air, and I was like — they were the number one show on on TV at the time. Jerry Seinfeld said, ‘Yeah, we want to we want to leave on top. We don’t want to leave when the ratings tank.” And so you see with John, he did it on his own terms.”
John Cena has not been the only wrestler that Gunther retired in 2025. In July, he worked with Goldberg in his farewell match. So he created history by retiring as one of the biggest names in the same year. WWE has set their site on pushing him as the biggest heel of the promotion, and so far, he has done an amazing job.
