It remains to be seen if GUNTHER will still be the WWE World Heavyweight Champion by the time John Cena's final run kicks into gear. However, assuming he is, Cena needs to get his 17th World Title by beating "The Ring General."

On the surface, the match ticks off so many boxes. It's a first-time match that fans wouldn't get to see anywhere else. It's against a man in GUNTHER who seems incapable of having a bad match with anyone. But mainly, it would be a classic tale of the old gunslinger looking for one more high before he rides off into the sunset against an unstoppable force who has beaten everyone in his path.

After all, GUNTHER's reign as the WWE Intercontinental Champion is so beloved because of that simple premise: he is so good at what he does that it seems inconceivable that someone could beat him. Put him against Cena, one of the most decorated champions in the history of WWE, and have him pose a genuine threat to GUNTHER's reign that no one else on the roster would be able to bring to the table. Even then, GUNTHER is so dominant and has brutalized so many people that it would be an unpredictable match that could have people thinking, "Maybe this isn't the guy to beat him," solidifying "The Ring General" as the final boss of WWE.

However, GUNTHER has been around the block long enough to know when the right time to do the job is. If he does, losing to Cena would be the perfect centerpiece of what should be a legendary year for "The Doctor of Thuganomics."
