Gunther successfully defended his World Heavyweight Championship against Damian Priest last night at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames. Former Titanland employee Tommy Carlucci suggested another top RAW star should dethrone The Ring General ahead of WrestleMania 41.
Drew McIntyre defeated Seth Rollins earlier this year at WrestleMania 40 to capture the World Heavyweight Championship. However, he lost it a few minutes later to Damain Priest after the latter cashed in his Money in the Bank contract. The Scottish Warrior has since failed to recapture the title.
On the Behind The Turnbuckle: The Last Word podcast, Carlucci claimed McIntyre could be the one to end The Ring General's World Heavyweight Championship reign ahead of WrestleMania 41. He pointed out that The Scottish Warrior would carry the title better than Gunther:

"I'd like to see it be Drew and Drew win the title and carry that title all the way to WrestleMania. Promoting Drew would be a 100% better [than Gunther]. He would carry the title better. His charisma, the way he works in the ring, he could do high-fly, he can ground-and-pound, he's much younger [McIntyre is two years older than Gunther] and looks better than Gunther. That's what I wanna see," he said. [1:18:15 to 1:18:36]
The ex-WWE employee thinks Gunther could lose the title to John Cena
John Cena is set to return to WWE in 2025 to embark on his retirement tour. The 16-time World Champion is rumored to have matches with several superstars before retiring, including Gunther.
On the Behind The Turnbuckle: The Last Word podcast, Tommy Carlucci suggested The Ring General could lose his World Heavyweight Championship to the Leader of the Cenation at WrestleMania 41:
"I just don't understand what they see in Gunther keeping the title this long. And are they planning to give him the title all the way to Rumble and possibly to WrestleMania? And the only reason why I could think of WrestleMania is that he faces Cena and Cena wins," he said.
It would be interesting to see who would be able to put an end to Gunther's dominant World Heavyweight Championship reign.
