You can check some of the reactions to Gunther's tweet below:
Gunther had an incredible run during Royal Rumble 2023
The Ring General had an impressive outing during the previous edition of the premium live event. The former NXT Champion entered the contest at No.1 and lasted for over 71 minutes.
He broke Rey Mysterio's record for the longest time spent in a traditional Rumble match. The WWE Hall of Famer had lasted over 62 minutes in 2006. During his record-breaking run, Gunther eliminated five other contestants.
Cody Rhodes, the eventual winner, eliminated the leader of Imperium right at the end to win his first Rumble. Having come so close to winning, The Ring General would surely love to go one up this time around and secure a win.
Who do you think will win the Rumble this time around? Sound off in the comments section below.
