Gunther is expected to announce his plans for Royal Rumble 2024 following his return to RAW next week. The Ring General last appeared on the December 18, 2023, episode of the red brand. He retained his Intercontinental Championship against The Miz in a highly competitive match.
Could the Austrian powerhouse be confronted by an 11-time WWE champion who hasn't been seen in the company in 687 days at the upcoming Premium Live Event? The star in question is none other than Big E. His last televised appearance came on the March 11, 2022, episode of Friday Night SmackDown.
The New Day member suffered a severe neck injury during a botched spot on the show. Gladly, he has made tremendous progress since the career-altering incident. With both Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods currently out of action, Big E might show up to challenge Gunther at Royal Rumble 2024.
For those unaware, Xavier Woods is dealing with a legitimate injury. Kofi Kingston, on the other hand, was taken out by Ludwig Kaiser this past Monday on RAW. Kaiser brutally assaulted Kingston after their singles match on the red brand.
The match came just a week after Giovanni Vinci suffered an injury during Imperium’s tag team match against Kofi Kingston and Jey Uso. Michael Cole confirmed that Vinci will be out of action for several weeks.
Gunther to be confronted by popular star on WWE RAW next week? Looking at the potential
Gunther has defeated all up and comers during his historic 500-plus Intercontinental Championship run. The Ring General retained his title against the likes of Drew McIntyre, Sheamus, Bronson Reed, and The Miz in just 2023 alone.
It is possible the former Walter could be confronted by Jey Uso on WWE RAW next week. The former Bloodline member has teased going after a singles title in 2024. Jey might show up to challenge the Ring General for his title at the 2024 Royal Rumble.
Sportskeeda will have full coverage of the show as it airs.
