• Current Plan For GUNTHER At WrestleMania 42

GUNTHER picked up the biggest win of his career when he made John Cena give up at Saturday Night’s Main Event, sending the G.O.A.T into retirement with a tap out loss.

On this week’s RAW, GUNTHER mocked the 17-time World Champion. He came out laughing and took victory laps. The Ring General said: “I made John Cena give up, and when he gave up, he tapped out like a little b*tch. It is my time now.”

GUNTHER was confronted by multiple wrestlers backstage. R-Truth called him a piece of trash. General Manager Adam Pearce called him an a$$hole and told him to leave. While leaving, GUNTHER met AJ Styles. GUNTHER did the “you can’t see me” to AJ and left.

According to Self Made Pro, WWE is planning to do GUNTHER vs. Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 42. This dream match was the original plan for WrestleMania 40 in 2024, but it didn’t happen due to Brock being pulled from WWE programming after he was mentioned in the Vince McMahon – Janel Grant lawsuit.

As per current reports, two other matches that are rumored for WrestleMania 42 are: Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Championship and CM Punk (c) vs. Bron Breakker for the World Heavyweight Championship. Punk vs. Breakker for the World Title is currently scheduled for the January 5th RAW as well.

• Multiple John Cena Farewell Moments Were Not Planned

John Cena’s final WWE match led to many real and unplanned moments on Saturday Night’s Main Event. It was noted that several emotional moments involving wrestlers were not planned ahead of time by the creative team.

According to Fightful Select, the most notable spontaneous moment was the emotional ringside interview with Cody Rhodes. Sources say that the interview, where Rhodes clearly showed how much Cena meant to him, was completely off-the-cuff and not written into the script.

In addition to Rhodes’s interview, some of the action and interactions that happened in the ring during Cena’s farewell tribute after his loss to GUNTHER were also not planned. Cena’s post-match time was full of real emotion and unexpected gestures from the performers present.

• Drew McIntyre’s Home Invaded (Video)

Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre’s rivalry over the Undisputed WWE Championship took a deeply personal turn, escalating far beyond the ring. What has already been months of tension between the two stars reached a new level following Saturday Night’s Main Event.

SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis visited Drew McIntyre at his home this past weekend to address his actions at Saturday Night’s Main Event, where McIntyre interrupted the match between Cody Rhodes and NXT Champion Oba Femi. Aldis explained that both he and Cody wanted McIntyre reinstated from his suspension, but only under specific conditions.

The terms presented to McIntyre included another title match against Rhodes, a public apology to referee Dan Engler for striking him with a Claymore Kick, and a fine taken from his Survivor Series: WarGames paycheck. McIntyre immediately rejected the offer and instead laid out his own demands.

McIntyre stated that he would only return if he was allowed to choose the stipulation for his next championship match against Cody Rhodes. He also demanded that legal documents be prepared stating that if Cody laid a single finger on him before the match, he would be stripped of the Undisputed WWE Championship. After some hesitation, Aldis ultimately agreed to The Scottish Psychopath’s terms.

Moments later, McIntyre’s alarm suddenly went off, alerting him to someone attempting to enter his home. He looked at his security feed and saw Cody Rhodes outside, trying to get inside as security attempted to stop him. He blamed Nick Aldis for the situation before rushing outside to confront Rhodes.

A brawl broke out when they came face-to-face. You can watch it below:
