WWE Raw recently featured a significant title change, with Gunther defeating Jey Uso to become the new World Heavyweight Champion. Uso’s title reign came to an end after a hard-fought match.
Now, the focus shifts to Gunther and his future. Who will step up to challenge the dominant “Ring General”?
Goldberg:
Rumors of a match between Gunther and Goldberg have been circulating since last year. Goldberg has expressed interest in a final match, and he’s been training hard.
With the Night of Champions event in Saudi Arabia being a potential location for Goldberg’s return, a match with Gunther could be on the cards. SummerSlam 2025 is another possibility for this high-profile match.
Roman Reigns:
Roman Reigns hasn’t been seen on WWE TV since being targeted by Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker. A potential return could see him target the World Heavyweight Championship.
Should Reigns return, a match against Gunther would be a significant event. However, he might first have a feud with Rollins.
Brock Lesnar:
Brock Lesnar’s return is a highly anticipated event among WWE fans. He has been absent since his loss to Cody Rhodes. A match with Gunther is seen as a dream match.
Gunther has expressed interest in a match against Lesnar. With Gunther as champion, the time could be right for Lesnar to return and challenge him at SummerSlam 2025.
