For tonight's episode of WWE RAW, the Stamford-based promotion has announced the arrival of Gunther on the red brand. This will even mark the first presence of the Right General since losing his Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania XL at the hands of Sami Zayn.
The return of the Ring General for tonight's WWE RAW has already generated anticipation among the fans. They are curious to see what the company has planned for Imperium Leader as he is no longer the IC Champion.
Meanwhile, in this article, we will discuss three things Gunther can do on his return to Monday nights.
#3. Gunther might challenge Sami Zayn for a rematch
Sami Zayn is already involved in a feud with Chad Gable which also witnessed a surprise turn last week when Gable became a villainous character. However, despite this, there is indeed a chance that the Ring General might issue a challenge to Zayn by demanding a rematch for the Intercontinental Championship.
Also, in the past few months, fans have witnessed great chemistry between Gunther and Chad Gable. So a challenge from the Imperium Leader on tonight's WWE RAW will be a perfect setup for their triple threat showdown at Backlash 2024.
#2. Gunther might launch an attack on Cody Rhodes on tonight's WWE RAW
Cody Rhodes is scheduled to face AJ Styles at the upcoming international Premium Live Event of the company Backlash France. Despite this, the Ring General might launch an attack on the American Nightmare on tonight's show.
The motive behind this attack from Gunther is to send a bold message to the Undisputed WWE Champion and also to convey a strong message about being the next contender for the championship.
Also, if this scenario comes true then it will help the company to insert the 36-year-old star in the World Title picture in a dominant fashion.
#1. Gunther could drop a massive tease for a dream match against Brock Lesnar
As Gunther is no longer the Intercontinental Champion, it provides the company with a wider scope to book the Ring General in the Stamford-based promotion. Due to this, a small window of his dream showdown against Brock Lesnar has also opened back up. This scenario may be unlikely to unfold, but still, the Imperium Leader could drop a major tease by mentioning the Beast in tonight's WWE RAW.
Since their face-to-face confrontation at the 2023 Royal Rumble traditional match, fans truly wanted to witness a clash between these two gigantic stars. There were even plans for a match between Gunther and Lesnar at WrestleMania this year that were later scrapped.
With the 36-year-old star making his first presence in tonight's WWE RAW, this could serve as one of the suitable opportunities to plant seeds for the Brock vs Gunther showdown. Not only this, but It also helps the company maintain the excitement surrounding the Ring General since his title loss.
