Gunther defeated John Cena in the main event of Saturday Night’s Main Event, forcing the 17-time World Champion to tap out to a rear-naked choke in his final match. Following the bout, former WWE Champion The Miz heaped praise on the “Ring General,” labeling him the future of the company.
“Gunther is the future,” The Miz noted on the post-show. “You look at Gunther, he is the future, whether you like it or not. He is the future of this business. People are like, ‘Oh, he’s in his upper 30s,’ this guy is in his prime. I have wrestled him, I have been in the ring with Gunther, I know how lethal, how damaging he can be.”
Miz also commended the storytelling of the match, noting that Cena, who built a career on overcoming the odds against monster heels, did the right thing by putting Gunther over decisively. “John Cena did the right thing; he tapped out and gave up to Gunther!” Miz said.
