3. Randy Orton
If WWE truly wants to establish Gunther as the new Legend Killer, he must retire the original Legend Killer, Randy Orton. Orton built his early career by targeting several legends, including Mick Foley, Ric Flair, and The Undertaker. Thus, Orton might have an indifference towards Gunther trying to steal his persona.
It is not known when Orton plans to retire, but it could be soon. He hasn’t been a vital part of WWE’s programming lately, and he also turns 46 next year. Orton and Gunther have already battled previously in 2024, and both their matches were solid. Given Orton’s history with John Cena, WWE could also use that story to amplify the feud, and Gunther would definitely give Orton a great final match.
