The fallout from John Cena’s final WWE match didn’t stop inside the ring. After Cena tapped out to GUNTHER at Saturday Night’s Main Event, one emotional young fan confronted GUNTHER in a moment that quickly went viral.
New fan-recorded footage shows a heated confrontation between GUNTHER and a young John Cena fan in the crowd during the show. The kid let his emotions fly as GUNTHER walked by, and what followed was something no one could have predicted.
Kid: “What are you gonna do, huh?”
GUNTHER: “You tell me.”
Kid: “Screw you! You suck! Nobody likes you!”
GUNTHER: “That’s not true.”
Kid: “You just showed up outta nowhere! Everybody hates you! Take my hat—go ahead, I dare you!”
GUNTHER: “I’m civilized.”
Kid: “I hate you! Come on, I dare you!”
The Ring General was clearly enjoying the kid crashing out, as he refused to escalate, even when the fan dared him to snatch his hat. But the emotion in the building was real—and this moment captured just how deep the Cena loyalty runs, especially for younger fans who grew up chanting “Never Give Up.”
This wild ringside moment comes on the heels of even more chaos. After Cena tapped out clean to GUNTHER, fans inside Capital One Arena erupted in pure rage. Chants of “bulls***” filled the air, and GUNTHER was showered in boos. Outside, he was followed by security while fans hurled “F*** you GUNTHER” chants as he made his way to his bus.
Cena’s retirement match wasn’t enough for fans who felt their hero deserved a different ending. And for at least one young fan, the heartbreak came out in pure rage.
