A major AEW name made an interesting prediction about John Cena's final WWE match. The legend will be wrapping up his in-ring career tomorrow at Saturday Night's Main Event.
Gunther emerged victorious in the Last Time is Now Tournament and will be facing the 48-year-old in his retirement match tomorrow night. Speaking on his Grillin Jr. podcast, AEW commentator and WWE legend Jim Ross predicted that Gunther would defeat Cena at Saturday Night's Main Event. Ross suggested that The Ring General getting the victory would be the right thing to do and predicted that it was going to be a great match.
“I’m hanging my black hat on GUNTHER. I think that’s the right thing to do. He’s going to be around. He’s a key member of the roster….If you didn’t do Lesnar, GUNTHER is a great choice for Cena’s last match, and they’ll have a dandy, no doubt about that," [H/T: Wrestling News]
