The map above is based on geotagged X data in the last 48 hours (since Gunther won the "Last Time is Now" tournament) tracking tweets, hashtags, and direct keyword phrases about who will win John Cena's final professional wrestling match. For example, "Gunther will beat Cena," "Gunther will retire Cena," "Gunther will win," or "Cena will win his last match," "Cena will beat Gunther," "Cena will go out on top." etc. Over 80,000 tweets were tracked.
As you can see from the map, most WWE fans think Gunther will defeat John Cena in his final match. The likely reason is simple, it's generally "tradition" in pro wrestling for someone like Cena to lose their final match and "pass the torch" in a sense. However, WWE writers also know this, and know that fans expect him to lose. So they may pull a switch and have the perennial "face of the WWE" go out with a win.
Here's the state breakdown:
Gunther - 32 states
Cena - 18 states
