GUNTHER is the currently the longest ever reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion, so it would be fair to assume that he will have some big plans going into the Royal Rumble & WrestleMania season. According to a new report, that would definitely be the case.
According to Sports Illustrated GUNTHER is the favorite to win the Royal Rumble and then dethrone Seth Rollins on the first night of WrestleMania 40.
Whether or not it will be the Main Event of WrestleMania 40 Night 1 is not specified in the report, but one would assume it’s a contender for the spot.
After a month of speculation that CM Punk would challenge world heavyweight champion Seth Rollins at WrestleMania, a new plan is in place. Gunther is the favorite to win the Royal Rumble and then dethrone Rollins on the first night of WrestleMania.
