Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, featuring Gunther and John Cena.
• Real Reason Behind Gunther Getting A World Title Rematch
On this week’s RAW, Jey Uso addressed Logan Paul ahead of their World Heavyweight Championship match on Saturday Night’s Main Event on May 24. Jey said Logan is going to get it and he will remain champion.
Gunther interrupted and said that Jey achieved the impossible at WrestleMania 41, but unlike him, Jey is not a natural champion and it won’t last.
The Ring General revealed that he spoke to Adam Pearce and he will face the winner of Jey vs. Logan for the World Heavyweight Title on the June 9th episode of RAW (post-Money In The Bank episode) in Phoenix, Arizona.
WrestleVotes reported the following reason behind this match:
“Gunther is owed a rematch, and there will be an angle coming out of that involving Gunther — just a way to get him off the Money In The Bank card and on to a big Monday Night RAW to set something else up.”
Word going on is that Goldberg will finally make his return and plant seeds for his rumored retirement match against Gunther.
WWE’s next Saudi Arabia PLE will be Night Of Champions on June 28, so it’s possible that WWE makes this match official for this premium live event in early June.

• John Cena Comments On Negative Fan Reaction To Him Saying He Still Loves Vince McMahon
Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena has addressed criticism over his continued support for former WWE CEO Vince McMahon, who is currently facing serious allegations of $exual misconduct and $ex trafficking.
Speaking with Us Weekly at the Amazon Upfronts on May 12, Cena responded to backlash that followed his recent interview with The New York Times, where he expressed deep admiration for McMahon.
“Everybody’s entitled to their opinion,” Cena said. “Just like I’m entitled to have an emotional connection to somebody. I don’t hold anybody or how they feel or what they view as permissible or things that’ll make them angry, happy, excited, sad. That’s their right as a human being.”
Cena said he wasn’t shocked by the negative reaction from fans and critics. “I’m not surprised about any of that,” he added.
In the New York Times interview that was published a day before WrestleMania 41, Cena had said, “I don’t care who hears it: I love Vince. I’m not downplaying anything that needs to be decided or allegations of any kind, but when I love somebody, I love them wholeheartedly.”
He continued, “I know people are going to be angry about that, but they can’t put their value on my relationship with somebody I love.”
