Gail Kim has a lot of respect for John Cena and says she doesn’t believe he has to put anyone over in his final match. Cena will compete in his final bout on December 13th at Saturday Night’s Main Event. He is set to face either Gunther or LA Knight, who will compete on Smackdown in the finals of the Last Time Is Now Tournament.

Kim spoke with Jackpot City Casino for a new interview and was asked about Cena. She praised the WWE star’s work ethic and weighed in on how his last match should go. You can see highlights below:

On Her Experiences With Cena:

“I’ve worked with John, and he is incredible. I can’t say enough about him in terms of how hard he works. Always the first one to the building, and when you walk in, he’s signing massive piles of autographs, and doesn’t stop. I always said him and Miz were probably the two that I noticed were the hardest-working guys in the company at that time. I just respect people who work so hard and sacrificed so much.”

On How She Would Book His Last Match:

“If I was the booker, I would leave it up to him in terms of who he wanted to wrestle in that last moment and make it special. Of course, they say on your way out, you’re supposed to build someone up, but I don’t know who that would be right now. It’s really hard to say. No one’s springing out as the top choice there. And I don’t even know if they’re gonna do that. John is so special that he may just get a special farewell on his own, and he doesn’t have to do the traditional thing of putting someone over. And I wouldn’t have a problem with that, because I think he’s earned that right.”
