Based on the matches at recent live events, it seems Gunther has found a credible challenger in the form of Johnny Gargano. Fans have clamored for the bout to take place on WWE TV after finding out that it already happened at last week's house shows.
Some in the WWE Universe believe the 35-year-old will emerge victorious in the battle royal and challenge Gunther for the prestigious title at Night of Champions 2023.
You can check out some of the comments below:
Damian Priest recently reacted when the topic of The Judgment Day star facing Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship was brought up. Coming off an impeccable performance against Bad Bunny in Puerto Rico, perhaps Priest could kickstart a lengthy program with The Ring General. Their factions, too, could engage in a heated feud over the next few months.
The same can be said about a potential feud between The Way and Imperium if Johnny Gargano earns himself a title shot.
Speaking of Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci, the two superstars lost their match against Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn on last week's RAW. It will be interesting to see how The Ring General will react to the duo's loss.
Top WWE star could face a surprising opponent at Night of Champions
A recent report by Boozer666, a reliable source, has suggested that Gunther's challenger for the Saudi Arabia event is, contrary to popular belief, Mustafa Ali. The young superstar has not been involved in any significant programs for a while. However, on the May 8, 2023, episode of RAW, he picked up a victory over Otis.
Nevertheless, Gunther's current run as champion has once again put the workhorse title on the map as a worthy sought-after championship. Tune in to WWE RAW tonight to find out who The Ring General's next challenger will be.
