Why Gunther?
Gunther is regarded as one of the top Superstars today and will be a formidable opponent for The Never Seen 17. As a former World Heavyweight Champion and the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion in history, The Ring General triumphed in The Last Time is Now Tournament
to secure the opportunity to be Cena’s final adversary. He successfully defeated NXT’s Je’Von Evans, Carmelo Hayes, Solo Sikoa, and, ultimately, LA Knight.
Here are three ways John Cena can dominate Gunther in this much-anticipated clash:
1 – Experience and Ring IQ
John Cena boasts over two decades of WWE in-ring experience, having wrestled in countless high-stakes matches worldwide. This experience translates to superior ring awareness and strategic adaptability, allowing Cena to anticipate Gunther’s moves and respond effectively. Cena’s ability to read his opponent, exploit weaknesses, and adjust tactics mid-match will be crucial in countering Gunther’s brute force.
2 – Agility and Conditioning
While Gunther is known for being a powerhouse, Cena’s agility and stamina remain exceptional for a wrestler of his tenure. Cena’s conditioning means he can sustain a high pace, keeping Gunther moving and preventing him from using his strength easily. Cena’s agility also enables him to escape dangerous holds or minimise the impact of Gunther’s power moves and maintain dominance throughout the match.
3 – Signature Moves and Finisher
Cena’s iconic move set — including the Attitude Adjustment and STF submission, has secured him countless victories. His signature techniques, refined over years, are designed to incapacitate opponents swiftly and efficiently. Executing these moves at the right moment could cripple Gunther’s momentum and secure Cena a critical advantage, potentially sealing the match in his favour.
