Gunther, WWE’s reigning champion of the World Heavyweight title, has recently reclaimed the title from Jey Uso on Raw. The question now is who will be his next opponent? Mark Kaboly of the Pat McAfee Show weighs in with his top 5 most intriguing choices for Gunther’s next challenger.
The underappreciated wrestler may have regained the title, but it’s no secret that Gunther has been unstoppable. His dominance has gone relatively unnoticed by the WWE universe. However, after Uso’s loss, the open season on Gunther and the title is now open.
Kaboly suggests five potential opponents who could make this matchup interesting. Goldberg stands out as a prime candidate due to their long-standing history and mutual respect issues. Goldberg has made it clear that he wants a retirement match, and what better way for him to achieve it than by taking on Gunther?
Sami Zayn is another contender, given his unique contract and the fact that he’s one of the few wrestlers who beat Gunther. Their styles complement each other perfectly, creating an exciting matchup with plenty of potential.
Karrion Kross rounds out the list as a captivating on-mic presence. Although their in-ring skills are yet to be tested, Kaboly believes they could make for an entertaining lead-up to a match for the World Heavyweight title.
Lastly, Ron Killings emerges as a dark horse due to his recent resurgence and growing popularity. Interfering at WWE Money in the Bank with John Cena and Logan Paul hinted at Killings’ ambition.
While some might view these matchups as obvious, others may see them as deserving of a chance. The real question is who will step up and take on Gunther next?
