john cena's final match opponent gunther

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The clock officially hits zero tonight.

John Cena — the face of WWE for nearly two decades — steps into a wrestling ring one last time, and it happens under the brightest lights at Saturday Night’s Main Event, where he’ll face one of the most dangerous men in the company: Gunther.
No championship. No rematch clause. No do-over.This is it.

John Cena vs Gunther via @wwe

Cena’s Last Stand in Final Match

Sources inside WWE say Cena personally chose Gunther for his farewell bout — not a nostalgia match, not a friendly send-off, but a test.
Gunther doesn’t play legends. He breaks them.
And that’s exactly why this matchup matters.
Cena, now fully transitioned into Hollywood superstardom, wanted his final chapter written against the most dominant in-ring force of the modern era. One final proving ground. One last fight.

Why This Match Hits Different

This isn’t just a wrestling match — it’s a symbolic handoff.
Cena represents the era of loyalty, longevity, and larger-than-life superstardom. Gunther represents today’s WWE: brutal, technical, unforgiving.
Win or lose, tonight cements Gunther’s place — and closes Cena’s.

The Rest of the SNME Card Brings the Heat

While Cena’s farewell headlines the night, the rest of the match card is stacked with chaos, speed, and future-defining moments.

Cody Rhodes vs. Oba Femi
Cody continues his mission to remain WWE’s top standard-bearer — but Oba Femi brings raw power that could derail everything. One mistake, and Rhodes’ momentum could vanish.
Bayley vs. Sol Ruca
A classic veteran-vs-rookie showdown. Bayley looks to remind everyone she’s still elite, while Sol Ruca has the chance to shock the entire division.
AJ Styles & Dragon Lee vs. Je’Von Evans & Leon Slater
This one has steal-the-show written all over it. Speed, experience, and pure chaos collide in a tag match that screams viral clips.

Backstage Buzz: “This Is Real”

Unlike many farewell appearances, insiders insist this one is final.
Cena has told those closest to him that tonight is about closure — thanking the fans, the locker room, and the business that made him a global icon.
Expect emotion. Expect respect. Expect one final roar.

What Happens After the Bell?

No one knows.
Will Cena salute the crowd? Will the locker room empty out? Will Gunther show respect — or make a statement?
WWE is keeping the ending tightly guarded.

Final Word

Tonight isn’t about championships. It’s about history.
John Cena built an era. Gunther ends the night standing across from it.
And when the lights go out, WWE will never look the same.

Cena Announces His Retirement: “Last Time Is Now”

The WWE Universe watched in stunned silence when Cena opened RAW with a heartfelt speech. He appeared emotional but confident, standing in the center of the ring wearing the same classic “Never Give Up” shirt that defined an entire generation.

“After 25 years in WWE… after giving everything I have… I know it’s time,” Cena told the crowd.
“My last match will take place at Saturday Night’s Main Event. And I want it to be against the strongest competitor of this generation—Gunther.”

The crowd erupted, realizing they were witnessing wrestling history in the making. Cena’s decision to choose Gunther was no surprise to insiders. WWE had been teasing a passing-of-the-torch moment for over a year.

And now, it’s official.

Why Gunther? Cena Explains His Choice

Gunther, the former longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion of all time , has become one of WWE’s most feared athletes—known for his brutality, precision, and unmatched in-ring conditioning.

Cena said the decision was simple:

“If this is my last match, I want it to be against the very best. Gunther represents everything that is right about this industry—discipline, dominance, and respect.”

Gunther responded later in the show:

“John Cena was the hero of a generation… but heroes fade. At SNME, I will end the legend myself.”

The feud instantly became the most talked-about story in wrestling.

Face of WWE for over a decade
17-time world champion

The contrast in styles, eras, and personalities makes this matchup irresistible.

JOHN CENA FULL BIOGRAPHY So Far

 

Early Life and Background

John Felix Anthony Cena Jr. was born on April 23, 1977, in West Newbury, Massachusetts. He played college football at Springfield College, where he became an All-American center. After graduating with a degree in Exercise Physiology, he moved to California and initially worked as a limousine driver and bodybuilder.

His passion for physical performance soon led him toward professional wrestling.

WWE Debut and Early Struggles (2000–2002)

Cena trained in Ultimate Pro Wrestling (UPW) before WWE signed him to OVW.
He would make his SmackDown debut on June 27, 2002, facing Kurt Angle in the iconic “Ruthless Aggression” moment.

Though fans now see him as a superstar, Cena struggled during his first few months in WWE—nearly facing release.

Everything changed when he introduced the Doctor of Thuganomics gimmick.

 

Rise to Fame: The Doctor of Thuganomics (2002–2004)

Cena became one of the hottest acts on SmackDown by incorporating freestyle raps and edgy promos.

Money in the Bank winner

He headlined countless WWE events, including:

WrestleMania 22

His feuds with Edge, Randy Orton, and CM Punk defined an entire era.

 

Transition to Hollywood (2017–Present)

Cena followed The Rock’s footsteps and became a Hollywood star, appearing in:

Peacemaker
Fast & Furious 9
The Suicide Squad
Bumblebee

Despite his film success, Cena continued returning to WWE out of love for the industry.

 

GUNTHER’S RISE: The New Standard of WWE Excellence

Gunther (formerly WALTER) has reshaped WWE’s competitive landscape.
His unmatched physicality, disciplined mentality, and leadership of Imperium have established him as the man to beat.

In many ways, he is everything Cena stood for—but with a much more brutal, punishing approach.

This is what makes their SNME clash so compelling.

AC Milan Sign Colombian Fullback Juan Arizala – €3M Deal Completed | Transfer News

AC Milan have completed the signing of 20-year-old Colombian fullback Juan Arizala from Independiente Medellín. €3m fee, sell-on clause, and UK/Belgium proposals rejected. Full details here.

BREAKING: Juan Arizala to AC Milan — Confirmed

AC Milan have officially secured one of South America’s fastest-rising defensive talents, as Juan Arizala, the highly rated 20-year-old fullback from Deportivo Independiente Medellín, is set to join the Rossoneri.
The deal has been sealed with a €3 million transfer fee, plus an important sell-on clause, making it one of the highest outgoing transfers in Colombian league history for a defender of his age.
The agreement is already described internally as a “long-term investment signing”, with Milan beating competition from multiple European clubs.

Juan Arizala to AC Milan: Deal Completed for Colombian Wonderkid Via @X FR

A Major Move for Colombian Football

Juan David Arizala has emerged as one of Colombia’s most exciting young fullbacks, admired for:
Lightning pace
Ball-carrying power
Defensive intelligence
High work rate
Modern fullback attacking profile
He quickly became a standout in the Categoría Primera A, catching the attention of scouts from Premier League, Serie A, Bundesliga, and Belgium Pro League.
His transfer to AC Milan marks another big step for Colombia’s next generation of football talents breaking into Europe.

 

UK and Belgium Proposals Rejected

According to sources close to the negotiation, Arizala rejected offers from England and Belgium to prioritize a move to AC Milan.
Clubs from:
Premier League (UK)
Championship
Belgium’s top-flight Jupiler Pro League
had submitted proposals, but the player’s camp insisted on Milan due to:
Clear development plan
Immediate pathway into the senior squad rotation
Milan’s reputation for developing young talent
Serie A’s tactical environment fitting his profile
The player strongly pushed for the move, making AC Milan his top priority over higher financial packages abroad.

Why AC Milan Wanted Juan Arizala

With Milan continuing their recruitment strategy focused on young, high-potential players, Arizala fits perfectly into the club’s long-term sporting project.
Milan staff reportedly see him as:
A dual-footed fullback capable of playing both sides
A player who can grow into the first team
A long-term successor option in the backline
An investment similar to previous South American signings
With Milan competing across Serie A and Europe, squad depth in defensive positions has become a priority.

Medical & Contract Details

Transfer fee: €3 million
Sell-on clause: Included for future transfer profit
Contract: Until 2029 (expected)
Medical: Scheduled in the coming days
Announcement: Expected after document signing & international clearance
As soon as paperwork is completed, the club will make the official announcement.

 

A Player to Watch in Europe

Juan Arizala’s move to AC Milan will be closely watched by South American football fans. Many scouts believe he could become one of the breakout fullbacks of his generation if he adapts quickly to European football.
For Milan, this is another calculated signing aimed at strengthening the squad with young, dynamic profiles who align with the club’s future vision.
