WWE personality advocates for John Cena's title win over Gunther at WrestleMania 41

Peter Rosenberg has proposed a championship scenario involving John Cena and Gunther at WrestleMania 41. Speaking on his Cheap Heat podcast, the WWE personality suggested Cena should emerge victorious if the two superstars meet for the World Heavyweight Championship.

Rosenberg emphasized the importance of protecting Cena’s momentum during his retirement tour, which begins January 6 on RAW’s Netflix premiere. He addressed concerns about potential match outcomes in a direct statement on his podcast.

If the first thing he’s gonna do is have a big run with Gunther, I don’t think he should lose the first thing he does. I think that kinda kills the run.

Royal Rumble path to championship glory

The discussion expanded during Rosenberg’s appearance on the ZASLOW SHOW 2.0, where he detailed his vision for Cena’s route to the World Heavyweight Championship. The former 24/7 Champion outlined a scenario incorporating multiple historic achievements.

I want him to beat Gunther at WrestleMania. I’m tired of seeing him lose. I would love for him to win the Rumble. It would be his third win. I think that ties him with Stone Cold Steve Austin for Royal Rumble wins. Then he could break Ric Flair’s record. I would love that.

The proposed path would see Cena pursue an unprecedented 17th world championship reign, surpassing his current tie with Ric Flair at 16 titles. The storyline would begin with Cena’s return in early 2025, potentially culminating in a championship match against Gunther at WrestleMania 41.
