WWE fans remain upset following John Cena’s emotional farewell on Saturday Night’s Main Event, and now Gunther, who forced Cena to submit in his final bout, has finally responded. Gunther posted a brief message on Instagram, seemingly directed at those upset by WWE’s choice to have Cena lose cleanly, stating simply that professional wrestling is superior to sports entertainment.
This statement came after a controversial match where fans at the Capital One Arena loudly chanted "bull***" and booed when the 17-time world champion tapped out to a sleeper hold. While many fans were unhappy, Gunther reinforced his image as a wrestler dedicated to the true roots of the sport, contrasting with Cena’s entertainment-first approach.
