Gunther Believes John Cena’s Retirement Tour Is ‘A Classy Way For Someone Like Him To Go Out’

Gunther talks about John Cena’s retirement tour.

Last year, Cena would share that he would be beginning his retirement tour at the beginning of 2025, walking away from the sport entirely at the end of the year. Since then, Cena has turned heel and has won his 17th WWE World Championship in the process at WrestleMania 41.

While speaking to Radio Times in a new interview, Gunther spoke about Cena’s retirement tour, noting that it is a ‘classy way’ for someone like Cena to go out.

“It’s great for him that he’s able to do that and say, ‘This is the way I want to finish it and the way I want to go out.’ It’s a great way to do it. If somebody deserves it, then it’s him. It’s good to have him back around. Obviously, I have not interacted with him or seen him much because he’s on SmackDown mostly, but who knows, there’s still a long time left, so maybe there’s a chance to get in there with him before he hangs it up. He’s a guy that everyone knows, it’s like what Hogan was in the ’90s. If you know wrestling, you know John Cena. It also shows the love and passion that he has for the business. He doesn’t need to do it, he’s financially got bigger fish to fry with his movies and he’s a made man already, so there’s no pressure for him to do all of that, but he decided to invest a whole year into this. It’s a very classy way for someone like him to go out and have this one year of giving back and do it one more time.”

Elsewhere in the same interview, Gunther spoke about how he felt like he and Goldberg ‘exceeded expectations’ with their match at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event. You can read more about that here.
