Gunther is proud he’ll be John Cena’s last opponent. Speaking to People, The Ring General said that he feels his upcoming match against Cena at Saturday Night’s Main Event represents a passing of the torch moment, noting he is part of a new wave of WWE stars.

Cena will be in the building on Friday night for his final appearance on SmackDown as an active wrestler. WWE has advertised a celebration honoring his nearly quarter-century run with the company, which saw him become its only recognized 17-time world champion.

WWE star Gunther spoke about ending John Cena's career in "heartbreaking" fashion at "Saturday Night's Main Event."
