WWE released a poster for WrestleMania 41, featuring some of the major stars set to appear at The Grandest Stage of Them All. The poster hinted that Gunther might drop his World Heavyweight Championship before WrestleMania 41.
The 37-year-old is part of the poster but can be seen in the back without his title. On the other hand, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes is featured in the front with his championship belt.
This could hint that The Ring General will lose the World Heavyweight Championship in one of the coming premium live events after Crown Jewel, namely Survivor Series: WarGames, Saturday Night's Main Event, or the Royal Rumble.

If this happens, the expectation is that CM Punk will be the one to dethrone him. The Best in the World is currently taking time off to recover from a brutal Hell in a Cell Match against Drew McIntyre at Bad Blood but has already challenged Gunther for the title.
Thus, he could return to get a shot at the title and dethrone the reigning champion to become the new World Champion in WWE for the first time in over a decade. This could be the next step in his rivalry with Seth Rollins, as their feud will reach its peak if the title is on the line when they potentially collide at WrestleMania 41.
As for Gunther, losing the World Heavyweight Championship could open the way for his next storyline, a match against Goldberg. The two took a shot at one another at Bad Blood and with Goldberg seeking one final match in his career, it could be against The Ring General at 'Mania.
Which superstars are featured in the WrestleMania 41 poster?
The updated WrestleMania 41 poster gives fans a better look at the superstars who are expected to appear at The Show of Shows.
Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns will be in Las Vegas, as will the reigning Tag Team Champions Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill, WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio, and the current Women's Champion Nia Jax.
Reigning Women's World Champion Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley could settle their rivalry once and for all at 'Mania, while the poster also includes Seth Rollins, former Intercontinental Champion Jey Uso, and former United States Champion Logan Paul.
Last but not least, WrestleMania 41 will be the last time John Cena will compete at The Grandest Stage of Them All, as he will retire in December 2025.
