John Cena, WWE and WrestleMania

It was brought up that GUNTHER defeating John Cena in his final match could be equivalent to Brock Lesnar ending Undertaker's streak.
Following John Cena’s historic 17th World Championship victory at “WrestleMania 41,” discussion has turned to whether anyone on the current WWE roster can surpass the new record. While Randy Orton stands as the closest active competitor with 14 reigns, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash believes “The Viper” is unlikely to chase the milestone.

The Clashing Of Egos Created The Rock's Heat With John Cena
Well ahead of their run-in at WrestleMania 40 and their brief alliance during John Cena's retirement tour, he and The Rock clashed both on- and off-screen.
John Cena became a 17-time WWE Champion at WrestleMania 41, defeating Cody Rhodes in the main event. The match was memorable for Travis Scott getting involved in the match and Cena embracing his heel personality. Fans were left disappointed by the match, though Cena, now a babyface, and Cody had redemption at WWE SummerSlam in a street fight.
In the end, there were no surprises. No run-ins or plot twists. No headline-stealing appearances from The Rock. Instead, WWE played it straight and simple with John Cena's swan song — as it knew it had to do.
