WWE Legend reveals why Gunther is the perfect opponent for John Cena

On the Something to Wrestle podcast, WWE Legend JBL spoke about how Gunther was the perfect pick. He revealed that whoever is the final opponent will need to carry that honor, and The Ring General is a hard worker with a great presence, making him a great choice.

Yes. You need somebody that can carry what he’s going to be given being that last match. Whether he goes over or not, that is a huge honor to be Cena’s last opponent. And you’re going to have a lot of stuff that is transferred to you, a lot of equity from Cena transferred into that opponent, especially depending on the finish into Gunther. If Gunther is the guy. Gunther can carry it. I don’t think there’s any doubt about that. That guy is a freaking worker. He’s a great worker. He has a great presence about him. He’s a terrific heel. I think Gunther will be able to do a lot with it.
