Historic WWE champion to step up against Gunther and challenge him for the World Title? Exploring the chances

Gunther's dominance continued at Survivor Series: WarGames as he successfully defended his World Heavyweight Championship against Damian Priest. With the PLE in the rear-view mirror, tonight's Monday Night RAW could mark a new chapter for The Ring General. A prominent WWE star could step up against him and challenge the 37-year-old for his coveted title.

The star in question is Finn Balor. The Prince made history in 2016 when he became the inaugural Universal Champion. After putting an end to Damian Priest backstage, he could confront Gunther tonight on RAW with the intent of capturing his second world title in WWE. Besides, Balor has a clear purpose of going after the Imperium leader after what transpired at Survivor Series: WarGames.

During the World Heavyweight Championship match, The Judgment Day member showed up and attacked Priest. However, The Ring General was unhappy due to the interference and he kicked Finn Balor into the barricade. Therefore, there is a good chance that The Prince could come looking for revenge on the champion tonight, ultimately challenging him for the title.

A major reason why it could happen is Balor has been looking to re-establish himself as a main-event star in WWE. Moreover, going after the World Heavyweight Champion would allow him to put an end to his world title drought. This can also pave the way for a blockbuster feud between Gunther and The Judgment Day member on Monday Night RAW.

However, the above angle is entirely speculation and it remains to be seen what WWE has in store for The Ring General tonight.

Gunther to be involved in a massive brawl with Finn Balor on WWE RAW?

After what transpired at Survivor Series: WarGames, it looks like WWE may have sowed the seeds for a potential feud between Finn Balor and Gunther. As discussed above, The Judgment Day member could be involved in a heated confrontation with the reigning World Heavyweight Champion tonight.

However, things might take a cruel turn as both superstars could be involved in a physical altercation in the ring. While Balor may try to get revenge on The Ring General for attacking him, the latter could try to punish him for causing interference in his high-profile match at Survivor Series: WarGames.

As a result, an ugly brawl could erupt between both superstars, causing havoc at the ringside. As a result, Adam Pearce could come out with a bunch of security personnel to separate Gunther and Finn Balor and bring the situation under control.

The RAW General Manager could be compelled to announce a match between them for next week. This could officially kick off a fresh feud for the World Heavyweight Championship on Monday Night RAW. While this is an intriguing prospect, it is speculative at this point.
