Cena came out and felt like the biggest babyface on the planet. These 19,000 people did not come to see this guy lose. The crowd chanted BULLSHIT at the finish. This was not a crowd concerned about Gunther getting heat going into 2026. They weren’t worried about Cena putting a guy over on the way out. This crowd chanted for Super Cena, literally chanting Don’t Give Up as Cena was in the sleeper hold. They wanted the moment of Cena rising above another monster of the month and standing tall, the way he has countless times before. Gunther winning and having this accolade for the rest of his career is the smarter decision. But when you teach your audience to value MOMENTS over telling actual stories, which they didn’t bother to do for this match, you get them turning on the company for doing the objectively smarter decision.
