WWE May Have Subtly Confirmed Gunther Retiring Another Legend
Gunther has retired Goldberg and John Cena, and he might be on his way to retiring another WWE Legend.
On July 12th, 2025, The Ring General took down Da Man at Saturday Night’s Main Event. On December 13th, 2025, Gunther took down John Cena at Saturday Night’s Main Event. After retiring two legends, he has been termed the new “Legend Killer”.
It seems that The Ring General might be on his way to retire another legend.
Gunther to take down AJ Styles next?
WWE uploaded a video on social media that shows The Ring General walking up to his car in the parking lot and AJ Styles leaning against it. The Phenomenal One moves so The Ring General can enter his car.
Before driving off, the former World Heavyweight Champion rolls down the window and does John Cena’s Five-Knuckle Shuffle before laughing and driving off.

Given that John Cena and AJ Styles have the utmost respect for each other, The Ring General wanted to make fun of the fact that he tapped out The Champ. With this mockery, a feud might be brewing between Gunther and AJ Styles.
Styles has confirmed that he will retire sometime in 2026. WWE may be sowing the seeds of Gunther’s third legend takedown with the parking lot confrontation.
