GUNTHER Breaks Silence After Retiring John Cena at Saturday Night’s Main Event

WWE fans are still angry after John Cena’s emotional farewell at Saturday Night’s Main Event — and now, GUNTHER is finally speaking out after being the man to make Cena tap out in his final match.

The Ring General took to Instagram to post a short message that seemed aimed directly at critics of WWE’s decision to have Cena lose clean. He simply declared that pro wrestling is better than sports entertainment.

“Pro Wrestling > Sports Entertainment #Gunther #RingGeneral #WWE”

This comes after Cena’s final match ended in controversy, as fans inside Capital One Arena erupted into chants of “bulls***” and booed relentlessly when the 17-time world champ tapped out to a sleeper hold.

While many fans were upset, GUNTHER’s message simply doubled down on his stance — positioning himself as a wrestler who represents the sport’s actual roots, not the entertainment-first style Cena lived by.

Whether fans agree with the booking or not, the message from WWE’s top brass — and GUNTHER himself — is clear: this was about doing business the right way. Love him or hate him, the Ring General’s message draws a hard line between eras — and with Cena now gone, GUNTHER just might be the man leading WWE’s next era.
