GUNTHER Doesn’t Care About WWE Locker Room Support After John Cena Retirement Fallout

John Cena wrestled his final match, as he finally gave up. GUNTHER was the man who made that tap out happen after nearly five minutes of sleeper hold drama in the final match of Saturday Night’s Main Event. This was a big match for GUNTHER, and he’s still living with the aftermath.

GUNTHER was told to get lost when he showed up at WWE RAW this week to cut a promo. That promo also included him saying that Cena tapped out “like a little bitch.” So, there is a bit of heat on the Ring General.

Gunther addressed questions about locker room support during a recent appearance on TMZ Inside The Ring. The discussion came amid backlash over how John Cena’s career ended and whether that situation left Gunther isolated backstage.

“You don’t have to name any names, but is anybody on the same page as you? Because everybody’s upset about John Cena. But do you have any friends backstage? Are people — are some people still rooting for you?”

“Um, I guess… I don’t know. Because I don’t — yeah, I don’t talk to many people backstage, to be honest.”

“I try to do my own thing… do my work and go home.”

“It doesn’t really matter to me what other people think or how they judge it or whatever. I know what I did right, and I know what I do wrong. And whatever — if they like it or not — doesn’t change anything for me.”

Triple H also received a ton of backlash, and so did GUNTHER. He spoke about that, as he said, “To be honest, I kind of like disappeared. I didn’t really speak to many people because yeah… just sometimes when the damage is done, you leave and you don’t take a bath in it anymore. I took that bath in it on Monday. And yeah, I haven’t really been around after the match.”

We will have to see what GUNTHER does next in WWE. He also retired Goldberg this year, but he didn’t get nearly as much heat as he did by making the Greatest of All Time tap out. Only time will tell how he uses that heat and momentum to continue his domination of the roster, whether they like it or not.
