Gunther being back in the active scene has much of the WWE Universe questioning what his future will be. According to a veteran, he is primed to have a match with a particular star.

With SummerSlam right around the corner, The Ring General by virtue of winning the King of the Ring tournament is set to face Damian Priest with the WWE World Heavyweight Title at stake. The two recently had an intense promo segment on RAW, where they traded words before engaging in a staredown, which later erupted into a skirmish.

Speaking on Sportskeeda's UnSKripted, veteran journalist Bill Apter stated that he could have a dream match against the 6 ft 5 in Damian Priest thanks to their history outside of WWE.

"I was mentioning this when we were taping Time Machine, that he [Damian Priest] and Gunther could be a classic old school wrestling match. The reason being they have been in the ring with each other for about 10 years, way back in Europe... The two of them should have a really classic good match because I think their natural instincts work with each other, and they have worked so many times together throughout their careers and I just, I have said this before but I just think that the respect that Damian Priest is starting to have from the fans is really great because he is a cool, collected World Champion."
