3 WWE stars who can confront Gunther on RAW on Netflix

Reigning World Heavyweight Champion Gunther didn't appear in person last week on WWE RAW's season premiere on Netflix. However, The Ring General will appear this week, and it will be interesting to see what he will have to say heading into the Royal Rumble Premium Live Event on February 1.

Even though it is unclear what Gunther will say in his promo, the Imperium leader will likely be interrupted by a superstar.

Here's a look at three WWE stars who could interrupt his segment and confront him:

#3. Logan Paul could confront Gunther

Logan Paul returned to WWE after five months and moved to RAW a few weeks ago. The former United States appeared at the RAW on Netflix Kickoff Show last month and said that he wanted to become world champion in WWE, teasing a match with Gunther.

Later in the show, The Ring General addressed The Maverick's comments and made a statement, saying that he would dominate the RAW star one-on-one.

Tonight, Logan Paul could show up and confront the erstwhile Walter, challenging the Imperium leader to a match at the Royal Rumble on February 1.

#2. Goldberg could return to RAW and challenge Gunther to a match

WWE legend Goldberg was in attendance at Bad Blood in October 2024. The veteran was sitting in the crowd with his family when World Heavyweight Champion Gunther mocked him, sowing the seeds of a future in-ring showdown.

Goldberg has revealed that he will have his retirement match in WWE this year, and the Austrian is expected to be his opponent. With that in mind, the former WCW World Champion could show up on tonight's RAW and confront The Ring General to set the stage for a potential match at the Royal Rumble.

#1. CM Punk has already declared his intentions to go after The Ring General's World Heavyweight Championship

During his feud with Drew McIntyre last year, CM Punk sent a message to Gunther, declaring that he would come after The Ring General's World Heavyweight Championship in the future.

Following his feud-ending Hell in a Cell Match against The Scottish Warrior, The Best in The World joined Roman Reigns' team for the Men's WarGames Match at Survivor Series: WarGames. After the match, he got embroiled in his never-ending rivalry with Seth Rollins.

Punk and Rollins collided in a brutal match that headlined the RAW premiere on Netflix last week. After his victory over The Visionary, The Second City Saint put the Austrian and Cody Rhodes on notice.

CM Punk will appear on RAW tonight. He could confront The Ring General, telling the latter that he'd win the Men's Royal Rumble Match and challenge the reigning champion for the World Heavyweight Championship on the Grandest Stage of Them All.

Notably, Punk and the legendary John Cena announced last week that they would compete in the 2025 Men's Royal Rumble.
