We all know which WWE legend Gunther is retiring next

Gunther is one of the hottest commodities in professional wrestling right now, retiring two of the GOATs - in very different ways - these past couple of months. Because after choking out John Cena in his retirement match, Gunther did indeed end AJ Styles's career where it all began at the Royal Rumble. The Legend Killer Randy Orton was one thing, but Triple H and WWE are creating a different monster entirely with Gunther, who has been a rousing success since stepping foot at the E but has truly exploded in to a phenomenon entirely in the last year or two. A perfect technician in the ring and now a breakout character outside of it as one of the most compelling mic workers with his quick wit, Gunther has the character, the in ring style, and even the look of a world class heel. And ...

Gunther is the real reason Chris Jericho isn’t showing up in WWE

Many WWE fans expected Chris Jericho to show up at the Royal Rumble this year after rampant speculation that he would be leaving AEW and had been negotiating with the E for months to return in Saudi Arabia. Instead, Y2J's music did not hit, and the purported trade between AEW and WWE for AJ Styles and Jericho remains nothing more than a wistful Internet rumor from the AEW faithful. In reality, Jericho may very well be on his way to WWE but simply delayed in his appearance at the largest professional wrestling company due to ongoing contract negotiations regarding the specifics of his return - or even lingering financial details. But if we kayfabe it and say that Jericho is a top competitor in the twilight of his career looking to make one last run to the top in WWE and prove that ...

WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 Predictions After Royal Rumble: Gunther Will Maim CM Punk

WWE Elimination Chamber 2026, the last pit stop before WrestleMania 42, is the talk of the town in the pro wrestling community now that the Royal Rumble is in the rearview mirror. Roman Reigns and Liv Morgan are this year's Royal Rumble Winners. This means that they have a guaranteed world title shot against a world champion of their choosing at WrestleMania 42. Henceforth, the Elimination Chamber Winners will pick the remaining world champs who are not yet chosen. Since Liv Morgan is a heel and her Judgment Day pal, Raquel Rodriguez, is currently feuding with Stephanie Vaquer for the world title, it is more likely that she picks the babyface champion, Stephanie Vaquer, to finish the story with Judgment Day. Likewise, contrary to the popular belief that he will pick CM Punk, since Roman...

Gunther is subtly becoming the new Randy Orton

On the January 19th episode of WWE Raw, Gunther goaded his new rival, AJ Styles, into putting his career on the line for a match between the two of them at the Royal Rumble this year. And it is telling that for many wrestling fans, it is a foregone conclusion that Styles will lose this match and retire. WWE and Styles have already made it clear that the Phenomenal One will officially hang up his cleats in 2026 at some point. When that announcement was made by the former TNA legend, it was assumed that, like John Cena last year, Styles would retire towards the end of the year. But, alas, unlike Cena, AJ isn't going to get a retirement tour. AJ Styles is on the verge of retirement So Styles could very well retire in January at the Royal Rumble, bringing his entire career full circle,...

There’s only one way WWE can salvage a Gunther vs. Goldberg feud

On the June 16 episode of WWE Raw in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Gunther's celebrations after defeating Jey Uso on the previous week's Raw were very short-lived, interrupted by Hall of Famer Goldberg. A potential Goldberg vs. Gunther clash had been feared by WWE fans for quite some time, and Triple H and TKO have indeed pulled the trigger on bringing back the controversial old-timer into a feud with a top wrestler they have been disrespecting for months. Gunther's world title triumph over Jey was seen by many fans as a form of justice, as many were upset with how Uso defeated Gunther at the Show of Shows, tapping out one of the most hard-nosed technical wrestlers in the business. And their anger was vindicated by Jey's poor run with the title. A program between Gunther and Goldberg feel...

Who will Gunther face at WWE WrestleMania 41?

Gunther is the current World Heavyweight Champion, and his opponent at WWE WrestleMania 41 largely remains a mystery. There's a prevailing belief that he will ultimately face Seth Rollins with CM Punk likely to face Roman Reigns and John Cena expected to battle Cody Rhodes, barring any more twists created by The Rock - or someone else. As Intercontinental Champion, Gunther put on a legitimate five-star barnburner at WrestleMania a couple of years ago against future WWE Hall of Famers Sheamus and Drew McIntyre, solidifying his status as one of the brightest new stars in the company. Gunther could have a match with Logan Paul Gunther could be a part of a WrestleMania twist this year with a less polished opponent potentially on the horizon, as PWInsider's Mike Johnson reports that Log...
