Gunther recently reacted to fans comparing John Cena’s final WWE match to Brock Lesnar ending The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak.
After Gunther defeated Cena in his retirement match, many fans saw similarities between the two shocking moments. Gunther made headlines after defeating John Cena in Cena’s final WWE match at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Gunther forced Cena to tap out, leaving fans inside the arena stunned. Many immediately compared the moment to Brock Lesnar ending The Undertaker’s legendary WrestleMania streak at WWE WrestleMania 30.
Speaking to TMZ Sports, Gunther addressed the comparisons and said, “I think you can make it because I think back to then it was a similar situation, there was a real outrage about it, and it was the right thing back then because Brock, he’s still in the company, and was the mountain to climb for 10 years now.”
He said his win over Cena is a gift, and it is now his responsibility to protect it. “It is a similar situation that also comes with a bit of pressure because at the end of the day what I achieved that night is a gift and it’s up to me to protect that gift and keep it up, and that’s the challenge for me now, and judge me after, how I did.” [H/T: Wrestletalk]
