The Next Victims of the WWE “Career-Killer” Gunther

Brock Lesnar

A match between Brock Lesnar and Gunther is bound to happen in WWE. In fact, these two behemoths had a memorable face-off in the 2023 Royal Rumble Match. This may be the year where Lesnar and Gunther can finally have their match. This summer, WWE is having SummerSlam at Lesnar’s hometown in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

If WWE goes with this route, they can build this as Lesnar’s retirement match. They can also have this match headline SummerSlam as well.

It would be an interesting feud to see as Lesnar would be built as a babyface, which is uncommon since he was a monster heel for most of his career. Much like other stars who fell to “The Ring General,” it would be Lesnar staring Gunther off face-to-face, signaling a challenge.

Gunther possibly going over Lesnar would be a huge accolade. Much like Gunther himself, Lesnar also lost to only a handful of wrestlers throughout his run in WWE. A match of this caliber could determine who is the more dominant wrestler.

Who do you see as Gunther’s next “victims”? Leave your comments below.
