James Gunn Backs John Cena’s Title Win at WrestleMania 41

On WrestleMania 41 Sunday, history was made as John Cena beat Cody Rhodes to become the new Undisputed WWE Champion. While a lot of fans were upset about the result, James Gunn seems to feel differently about the matter.

James Gunn took to Twitter and uploaded a photo of John Cena holding the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41. Gunn kept it short and sweet as he made his feelings known about the title change, saying, “That’s right.”

James Gunn and John Cena have a very good relationship as James Gunn is the director of DC’s “Peacemaker,” which stars John Cena. In fact, the second season has already wrapped filming and will be released this year as well.

As for John Cena’s current plans, he has promised to destroy professional wrestling and made it clear that once he retires in December this year, WWE will have no choice but to create a new championship.

John Cena’s return to the top of WWE has created mixed reactions from fans, but James Gunn’s public backing adds a massive stamp of approval to Cena’s reign. With “Peacemaker” season two coming soon and Cena’s potential WWE retirement on the horizon, 2025 is shaping up to be a defining year for both Cena and Gunn.
