4 Things that can happens if Gunther fails to beat John Cena in his final WWE match

Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Gunther defeated LA Knight and won the Last Time is Now Tournament to become John Cena's opponent for his retirement match at Saturday Night's Main Event XLII.

Surprisingly, fans and pundits are picking the 38-year-old WWE Superstar to defeat the Cenation Leader and seize the win, thus getting more over by defeating two legendary icons in their retirement bouts the same year.

However, what if he fails to defeat the Cenation Leader? In this article, we will explore four things that could happen if The Ring General fails to beat Cena.

#4. Babyface turn

Suppose Gunther fails to defeat the Chain Gang Soldier as he vowed; this might affect the heel persona he has been carrying and give him a perfect chance to turn babyface quickly. He could instantly hug the Ruthless Aggression era legend and lift his hand.

This would be the perfect moment for The Ring General's face turn. As a babyface, he would have a lot to do on the roster and would open multiple options for himself.

#3. Loses his push

Since his debut on the main roster, The Ring General has been getting a major push from the Triple H-led creative team and has been considered the next big thing.

He has held titles and had a huge win over a legend like Goldberg during the latter's retirement match earlier this year. However, if Gunther loses to the Cenation Leader, he might lose the momentum of his major push.

#2. Quit WWE

Losing to John Cena in his retirement bout would leave a lasting dent on the rising superstar, and he may leave the Stamford-based promotion in kayfabe.

Gunther could later switch brands and go to Friday Night SmackDown from Monday Night RAW to begin a new dominant run on the blue brand.

#1. Challenge John Cena for a rematch

The sports entertainment juggernaut has been teasing that the Chain Gang Soldier might wrestle one more time after SNME XLII at WWE WrestleMania 42.

In a shocking ending, if John Cena manages to defeat Gunther clean this weekend, The Ring General could pursue his rematch against the Cenation Leader at Mania next year, which would be an even grander reception for Cena.
