He’s been rap’s fighting “Doctor of Thuganomics,” a chest-thumping, dog tag-draped military upstart and – proving that even the best can still err badly – the world’s least convincing heel, and this Saturday, 23 years after his SmackDown debut in 2002, John Cena and his jorts will gallop toward the squared circle one last time.
Gunther earned the right to face the man who brought us “Attitude Adjustment” and “Five Moves of Doom” on his swan song by winning the Last Time Is Now tournament, defeating Je’Von Evans, Carmelo Hayes, Solo Sikoa and LA Knight. The former double world heavyweight champion also retired Goldberg in July.
As is usually the case, the fairy tale ending wasn’t for Goldberg, even though at 48, Cena is 10 years his junior, recent Intercontinental Champion, 17-time World Champion and Triple Crown winner. He is also one of the most iconic WWE Superstars of all time, arguably the promotion’s greatest asset, and has repeatedly emphasized that there will be no comeback – it truly is the last dance.
