A few months ago, Gunther faced Goldberg and defeated the Iconic star in his retirement match. After moving to the main roster, The Ring General was widely regarded as a champion and had an incredible Intercontinental and World Heavyweight Title reign.

Considering all this, The Ring General doesn't need to be the final opponent for The Last Real Champion. This makes it a bad idea to witness a match between them at Saturday Night's Main Event.

#2. It makes the match predictable

For a long time, the WWE Universe has predicted that Gunther would face John Cena in his final showdown, even though there is a high belief that the former Imperium leader will defeat him at the special show.

Now, with the former world champion defeating LA Knight on SmackDown and officially becoming Cena's last opponent, it's eventually downhill excitement. Everyone already knew Gunther would be Cena's last challenger, which makes this more predictable and less exciting to watch, making it a bad idea.

#1. Torch-passing moment makes sense for a younger WWE star

Gunther is already a 38-year-old star, and if WWE is planning a torch-passing moment for The Ring General, it doesn't make sense. A torch-passing moment usually benefits a star who is an underdog or receives less audience recognition.

The RAW star is already very popular among fans and has been involved in many high-profile matches. Because of this, the idea of a torch passing makes little sense right now, which is why Gunther vs. Cena is a bad idea for WWE Saturday Night's Main Event.

Now, it remains to be seen what plans Triple H has in store for the stars at the upcoming special event. The victory of Gunther over Knight is getting mixed reactions on the internet, and things may explode if Gunther defeats Cena in his final match.
