WWE makes massive Gunther announcement on RAW

WWE just provided an important update regarding Intercontinental Champion Gunther on RAW.

Ever since winning the Intercontinental Championship in 2022, Gunther has been on an impressive run. He has held the title for over a year and even became the longest-reigning IC Champion of all time.

During his reign, The Ring General had some of the most brutal matches on WWE television against the likes of Sheamus, Drew McIntyre, and Chad Gable. He has proven to be a workhorse champion who has defended his title valiantly against all opponents.

Given the level at which he was performing for several months, The Ring General announced a couple of weeks ago on RAW that he was taking time off from WWE. This was much-needed time off for the Champion. During his absence, a lot has happened, as Giovanni Vinci suffered an injury to the head last week.

Alberto Del Rio returning to WWE?

Tonight on RAW, it was announced that Gunther would be making his return to RAW next week.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
