World Heavyweight Champion Gunther has a nice ring to it and The Ring General has reigned supreme on WWE RAW since August. However, as the show's Netflix debut draws closer, a disappointing update has been brought to light: Gunther may not have the belt heading into WrestleMania 41 next year.
Moreover, RAW on Netflix Kickoff the other day highlighted The Ring General's disdain for Logan Paul, who made it clear that he will be going after the World Heavyweight Title. While the potential for a first-time-ever bout has got some fans on board, the ubiquitous sentiment is that the former United States Champion should not even be considered as a possible winner.
Taking to X, the WWE Universe have voiced their dislike for Logan Paul, who has not wrestled since losing the US Title to LA Knight at SummerSlam, the same event where Gunther won his belt. Despite being champion for 279 days, The Maverick only defended his title twice. This is yet another reason why fans are not buying into Paul's WWE career.

As of this writing, The Ring General appears to be moving past Damian Priest and Finn Bálor after his clean victory over them at Saturday Night's Main Event. His next challenger has not yet been announced.
What did the report state regarding World Heavyweight Champion Gunther?
A new report by Xero News has rocked readers as it stated that Gunther is going to drop the World Heavyweight Championship soon. It did not mention to whom or when the title switch was going to take place.
However, if one were to connect the dots based on another report, perhaps CM Punk or Seth Rollins could be the one to do the honors.
According to another report by the same source, The Best in the World will be in a world title match at WrestleMania 41, and also, his likely opponent will be Seth Rollins. Although they are set to square off on the January 6, 2025, episode of WWE RAW, it is not out of the realm of possibility that the bout will happen on the grand stage again.
Interestingly, who would be the one walking into The Show of Shows in Las Vegas with the World Heavyweight Title was not mentioned in any of the aforementioned reports. Needless to say, the flagship show's move to Netflix is going to make for must-watch television.
