WWE is heading towards the summer, and fans are excited for Gunther's next challenger after he crossed 300 days as the Intercontinental Champion on SmackDown. Many fans believe former world champion AJ Styles could be the perfect opponent once he returns to in-ring competition.
Last year, AJ Styles reformed The O.C. and feuded with The Judgment Day. He later beat Finn Balor at Survivor Series: WarGames 2022 in a stellar match. However, an ankle injury has sidelined The Phenomenal One from WWE since December.
In Styles ' absence, Gunther has continued his unstoppable reign as the Intercontinental Champion on the blue brand. Some fans on Twitter have suggested that The Phenomenal One should feud with The Ring General upon his long-awaited comeback.
Check out some of the reactions:

In 2020, AJ Styles won the vacant Intercontinental Championship after Sami Zayn took time off during the COVID-19 pandemic. He later lost the title to Jeff Hardy before moving to Monday Night RAW to team up with Omos.
Gunther's rivalry with WWE veteran could be far from over
Last year, The Ring General had one of the best matches of the year when he faced Sheamus for the Intercontinental Championship. The two stole the show at Clash at The Castle with their hard-hitting wrestling style.
Although The Celtic Warrior lost to the Imperium leader, Sheamus continued to chase the coveted title for months before receiving another opportunity at WrestleMania 39.
The Ring General prevailed at The Grandest Stage of Them All when he beat Sheamus and Drew McIntyre. However, he pinned The Scottish Warrior to retain his championship.
On SmackDown after WrestleMania 39, The Brawling Brutes defeated Imperium in a six-man tag team match. It looks like a third bout between the faction leaders is in the works.
