The final match of The Last Time Is Now tournament takes place tonight on SmackDown. It’s LA Knight vs. GUNTHER, with the winner moving on to face John Cena in his WWE retirement match on Dec. 13 at Saturday Night’s Main Event. The megastar has a had a great run in the tournament so far, taking out two different mystery opponents and then outfoxing Jey Uso to advance to this final match. But now he’s up against The Ring General, who has been the heavy favorite to win this tournament before he was even officially named as one of the entrants.

GUNTHER makes for a better final opponent for Cena in a number of ways. He’s the big bad guy who works better with Cena from a babyface/heel dynamic. GUNTHER already carried Goldberg to a decent retirement match earlier this year, and is a much better bet to send Cena off in a classic bout. Unlike Knight, GUNTHER is a former World Heavyweight Champion who presents a much more formidable adversary for John to overcome in his very last WWE match. There just aren’t many reasons to think LA will prevail tonight, so it looks like his time is up. But they don’t settle these tournament matches on paper, and you never know when an upset will take place. Damian Priest caught up with his former Judgment Day stablemate Rhea Ripley last week, and it looks like they were planning to have a private chat about something.

Before the tournament was even announced, reports already revealed that Gunther was set to face Cena in his final match, and a tournament would be held where he would be crowned the winner. The Ring General has been putting on incredible matches while advancing further in the tournament. The most likely scenario would be The Ring General pinning Knight after another incredible match to secure his spot against Cena. However, plans in WWE could change at moment’s notice and fans would likely not complain even if Knight wins the finals and faces Cena next Saturday.
