Gunther's RAW finish ignites rumors of WWE potentially signing soon-to-be top free agent

Gunther uses soon-to-be free agent
Gunther is the current Intercontinental Champion!

Gunther displayed his in-ring dominance yet again on Monday Night RAW tonight. However, his finish sparked another debate in regards to the global juggernaut signing a soon-to-be free agent.

The Ring General battled his recent arch-nemesis, The Miz, with the WWE Intercontinental Title on the line. At the end of a hard-fought battle, Gunther planted The A-Lister with the Rainmaker finisher, a move highly synonymous with the Japanese sensation Kazuchika Okada.

The longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion walked away with the win while igniting rumors of WWE potentially bringing in Okada in the near future.

Some recent reports have already suggested Triple H and his creative force have a deep interest in signing the former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion once he winds up with NJPW in 2024, becoming a free agent.

Furthermore, Okada could also be on Tony Khan's radar to be the newest AEW star. After all, he has made a few appearances for them, competing against Adam Cole, Bryan Danielson, and Jay White. That could favor Khan's promotion to sign Kazuchika Okada before their competitors.

Was Gunther's finish a sign that Kazuchika Okada is headed to WWE? Sound off in the comments section below.
