The latest WWE Raw episode saw Gunther capture the World Heavyweight Championship, defeating Jey Uso. This victory has fans buzzing about who Gunther will face next.
Here are three potential opponents for the new champion:
Goldberg:
The rivalry between Goldberg and Gunther dates back to a previous confrontation. Goldberg is reportedly training for a return, and a match with Gunther could be a big draw.
The Night of Champions event in Saudi Arabia could be the perfect place for Goldberg to return, as he has a large fanbase there. SummerSlam 2025 could also host this highly anticipated match.
Roman Reigns:
Following his betrayal by Paul Heyman and an attack from Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker, Roman Reigns is currently off WWE TV. His return could involve a challenge for Gunther’s title.
Reigns challenging Gunther would be a huge match. However, a feud with Rollins could come first.
Brock Lesnar:
Rumors are circulating about Brock Lesnar’s return. Fans are hoping to see him back in action.
With Gunther as champion, a match between the two could be the perfect opportunity for Lesnar to return. A match at SummerSlam 2025 could be in the works.
