John Cena is officially facing GUNTHER in his final WWE matchand now hes breaking his silence.
After GUNTHER defeated LA Knight in a grueling tournament final on the December 5, 2025, episode of SmackDown, WWE confirmed the match fans have been speculating about for months: Cena vs. GUNTHER, one-on-one, at Saturday Nights Main Event on December 13 in Washington, D.C.
Cena took to Twitter with message that captured just how important this match is to him:
The build-up to this showdown has been intense. GUNTHER survived a brutal main event clash with LA Knight to earn the spot. Despite Knight having the crowd behind him and pulling out moves like a burning hammer and BFT, it was GUNTHERs unrelenting offense and brutal crossface that forced the tap-out.
Cena had dropped the Intercontinental Championship back to Dominik Mysterio at Survivor Series: WarGames, keeping the title off the table and making this match entirely about legacy.
Now that the match is locked in, and with Cena publicly acknowledging GUNTHERs rise and legitimacy, all eyes are on Washington, D.C. next Saturday.
