WWE<\/a> is capitalizing on a pivotal moment in Gunther<\/a>\u2019s career at John Cena<\/a>\u2019s expense.<\/p>\n

The Ring General silenced the crowd with his submission victory over The GOAT at Saturday Night\u2019s Main Event on December 13. The moment became even more controversial due to Cena\u2019s facial reaction, as he tapped out with a smile on his face.<\/p>\n

In a recent interview with Cody Rhodes, John Cena compared<\/a> smiling in his final match to a peaceful death. He also addressed the crowd\u2019s reaction to the bout, asking fans to accept the outcome as a form of closure.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou may not think I\u2019m going to retire, but I am. I\u2019m comfortable with that. Please just get the closure you need,\u201d he said. \u201cSo now I\u2019m out there. They hate the guy I\u2019m working with. They universally cheer me, which is f*cking rare. And for the last five minutes, everything I preach about storytelling, drama, and having a conversation with the audience comes together.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people I love are in the front row. I know my colleagues are watching on the monitor backstage. We\u2019re just in a sleeper hold, man. We\u2019re just in a sleeper hold, having that conversation with the audience.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo as I essentially take my last breath, I think about struggle. If you picture someone facing the natural causes of a scenario, or however you imagine loss in your life, we\u2019ve all been through it. They struggle. They hang on just long enough to say goodbye to everyone who has been meaningful in their life.\u201d<\/p>\n
