Gunther was initially set to clash with Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 40, according to initial plans. However, Lesnar’s absence due to recent allegations has left a void in the lineup for the event. Now, there’s speculation about who will step up to face The Ring General in a match of equal magnitude.
One potential candidate is none other than Lesnar’s long-time rival, Goldberg. The WWE Hall of Famer, who last competed against Roman Reigns at Elimination Chamber 2022, has expressed his desire to return to the ring, particularly for a retirement bout.
Fans were anticipating a colossal showdown between Lesnar and Gunther, but with Lesnar’s status uncertain, Goldberg could step in to fill the void. Goldberg’s imposing presence and legendary status would undoubtedly add to the spectacle of WrestleMania 40.
Moreover, a match against Gunther could elevate The Ring General’s profile, especially among casual fans. Following his recent victory over Kofi Kingston on RAW, where he reaffirmed his dominance as the Intercontinental Champion, Gunther’s momentum is at an all-time high.
In a post-match statement, Gunther expressed his unwavering confidence and declared his intent to cement his legacy as the greatest and longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion of all time. With his record-breaking title reign intact, The Ring General remains a formidable force in WWE.
