The clock is winding down on John Cena's retirement tour in WWE. The self-proclaimed Last Real Champion has less than 15 dates left on his schedule before he calls it a day. As such, there is growing curiosity over how the company will handle Cena's last match and who will be his final opponent.

There have been quite a few names thrown around for Cena's last WWE match, including a showdown with The Final Boss, The Rock. However, according to WRKD Wrestling, Gunther is being planned as John Cena's final opponent.

The prospect sounds interesting, and the World Heavyweight Champion recently shared his thoughts on Cena's farewell tour. He also discussed whether there is a chance for him to face the legend before the latter's retirement.

In an interview with Radio Times, The Ring General disclosed what he thought about the 17-time WWE World Champion announcing his retirement tour in advance.

“It’s great for him that he’s able to do that and say, 'This is the way I want to finish it and the way I want to go out.' It’s a great way to do it. If somebody deserves it, then it’s him. It’s good to have him back around."

Gunther then talked about possibly facing John Cena in the ring, saying there was a "chance."

"Obviously, I have not interacted with him or seen him much because he’s on SmackDown mostly, but who knows, there’s still a long time left, so maybe there’s a chance to get in there with him before he hangs it up.” [H/T: Radio Times]

This was the first time the Austrian publicly spoke about the subject since reports of his potential match against The Cenation Leader surfaced online.

There is still time for the two stars to clash in the ring before Cena retires. For now, both of them will be eager to retain their titles at SummerSlam. Gunther will defend the World Heavyweight Championship against CM Punk on Night One of the show. Meanwhile, Cena will put his Undisputed WWE Championship on the line against Cody Rhodes on Night Two in a Street Fight.
