WWE analyst Peter Rosenberg wants John Cena to beat a top champion to break Ric Flair's record
During an edition of ZASLOW SHOW 2.0, WWE analyst Peter Rosenberg said that he wanted John Cena to win the Royal Rumble 2025 and go on to dethrone Gunther as the World Heavyweight Champion.
Rosenberg also highlighted that Cena might tie with Stone Cold Steve Austin for most Rumble wins and could also break Ric Flair's World Title record.
"I want him to beat Gunther at WrestleMania. I've had enough of him losing. I'd love for him to win the Rumble. It would be his third. I think that ties him with [Stone Cold Steve Austin] for most Rumble wins. Then he could go [break] Ric Flair's record. I would love it," he said.
It remains to be seen what the Triple H-led creative team has planned for John Cena's retirement tour in 2025.
