During a recent appearance on the All Axxess podcast, Cena’s father said that Kurt Angle would’ve been an outstanding last match for his son. He also noted that his son should’ve been the one to retire the Olympic gold medalist instead of Baron Corbin.

“I really wish that Kurt Angle was able to get back in the ring, because that would be an outstanding last match for Cena and Angle. And I say this all the time, I really truly believe that [Baron] Corbin should not have been Angle’s opponent for his retirement match — it should have been Cena.”

Cena Sr. also named Adam Copeland, Chris Jericho, and JBL as other opponents who should’ve competed in his son’s final match.

“Who would I like to see John face? Obviously I just kind of emphasized that. I would say Kurt Angle number one. I would say Adam Copeland number two. I would say Chris Jericho number three. And a wildcard on my part, I’d love to see John Cena face JBL. Those would be my four choices.” [H/T F4wonline]

John Cena’s father wouldn’t have picked Gunther to be his son’s final opponent

Gunther and LA Knight made it to the finals of The Last Time is Now Tournament, meaning that either one of them will face Cena in his final match. Currently, Gunther is the favorite to win the match and retire the Last Real Champion. However, the Ring General wouldn’t be John Cena’s father’s first choice.

During the same podcast episode, Cena’s father said that he wouldn’t pick Gunther to be his son’s final opponent since the Ring General doesn’t need the rub. He also made it clear that he’s not a fan of the concept of passing the torch on the way out.

“Well, it certainly wouldn’t be Gunther, that’s for sure,” Cena Sr. said. “I don’t think that that’s a wise move. I don’t think the fans would enjoy that move. Myself personally, Gunther does not need the rub. By the way, I’m not a fan of [the idea that] on the way out, you’ve got to push somebody over the top, you’re supposed to pass quote-unquote ‘the torch.’ I don’t know where that’s written anywhere in professional wrestling. If we have to use that as an analogy, then he’s already done that with Cody Rhodes. He beat him for the title, he gave the title back, they embraced as you saw, Cody was teary eyed, the torch was passed.”

It will be sad to see John Cena hang up his boots at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
