GUNTHER wants to fight Brock Lesnar over Roman Reigns
When it comes to the “final bosses” of WWE, there is one name that stands out in the modern era – Roman Reigns. However, WWE Intercontinental Champion GUNTHER doesn’t see Reigns as his dream opponent. In a recent interview with Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, GUNTHER expressed his views on the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. GUNTHER chooses Brock Lesnar as his “dream opponent” According to GUNTHER, he and Reigns are two completely different wrestlers with distinct backgrounds. Reigns emerged from a rich wrestling lineage and was trained within the WWE system, ultimately becoming a picture-perfect example of how WWE can mold someone into a superstar. On the other hand, GUNTHER, like many other Europeans, had to build himself up in his wrestling journey. While he acknowledges Reigns’ incredible achievements and the aura he carries when stepping into the arena, GUNTHER doesn’t see him as his top choice for a dream opponent: “What he has achieved is absolutely incredible. The aura he has, and the reaction he gets when he steps foot in an arena, is almost like never seen before. So that makes it very interesting for me — yeah, at some point, if the chance arises to see … who would come out of this as the winner.” On Brock Lesnar: “He’s definitely somebody I looked up to. I always admired him for how he handles himself and his business and stuff. For me personally, I think he’s my biggest obstacle at some point in my career. So if there’s a chance that this happens, I would love to do that, of course.” GUNTHER praised Reigns for what he has accomplished in WWE and remains open to the possibility of facing him in the future, eager to see who would emerge victorious in such a clash. However, there is another WWE star that GUNTHER hopes to face in the more immediate future – Brock Lesnar. GUNTHER revealed that Lesnar is a dream match for him, admiring how “The Beast Incarnate” conducts himself and conducts his business. For GUNTHER, Lesnar represents the biggest obstacle in his career, and he would love the chance to compete against him. Currently holding the Intercontinental Championship since June 10, 2022, when he defeated Ricochet on “WWE SmackDown,” GUNTHER is on a hot streak, dominating opponents such as Sami Zayn, Rey Mysterio, Braun Strowman, Drew McIntyre, and Sheamus. Lesnar, on the other hand, is preparing for his third bout against Cody Rhodes, scheduled for WWE SummerSlam on August 5. Regardless of the outcome of his feud with Rhodes, it appears that GUNTHER has his sights set on a potential clash with Lesnar in the near future.
Ring General’s Reign in Jeopardy: Could Gunther’s Epic Streak Be Broken in a Shocking Upset?
In the tumultuous landscape of WWE, there are few constants. But one undeniable fact is that Gunther, the Ring General, has remained the WWE Intercontinental Champion for over a year. A testament to his dominance and tenacity, his legendary reign began when he vanquished Ricochet to claim the prestigious belt in June of last year. Since then, Gunther has fended off all challengers with his intimidating prowess, etching his name into the annals of WWE history. Fans Speculate on Gunther’s Downfall Yet in the world of WWE, even the mightiest must eventually fall. Fans have been speculating about Gunther’s inevitable downfall, debating on who will be the one to finally end his reign. Many believe it should be a familiar top name, someone with an established reputation to dethrone the Ring General. Yet, there’s a growing consensus among fans that a fresh face should rise to the challenge and become the new Intercontinental Champion. The Rising Star: Giovanni Vinci In this conversation, a name has emerged from the ranks of the Imperium itself – Giovanni Vinci. He’s been a stalwart of the Imperium for quite a while, but recent events have made him an intriguing contender. Vinci was left shell-shocked as his allies in Imperium walked out on him during an episode of RAW, following his loss in a tag team match. This incident signaled a clear tension within the faction and raised questions about Vinci’s standing in the group. In the world of professional wrestling, adversity often gives birth to opportunity. Could WWE be planning a major push for Vinci, capitalizing on his current predicament? If the WWE brass indeed chooses to take this path, Vinci could see his fortunes change dramatically. The speculation is that Vinci might just be the one to topple Gunther and win the Intercontinental title. This would be a massive upset, given Gunther’s current dominance and Vinci’s recent troubles. Yet, it’s a move that would immediately elevate Vinci’s status on the main roster. An Intercontinental Reign Awaits? There are some who believe Vinci wouldn’t be able to make it big without the backing of Imperium. But if Vinci could claim the Intercontinental title after defeating Gunther, it would undeniably establish him as a formidable force. A title reign could cement his position in the WWE hierarchy and set him on a path to superstardom. As always, in the world of WWE, the only certainty is unpredictability. Whether Gunther’s reign ends in an upset of the century or he continues his dominance remains to be seen. One thing is for sure, the upcoming storyline involving Gunther, Vinci, and the Intercontinental title promises to be an epic saga that will have fans on the edge of their seats.
WWE Superstar Gunther Considers Charlotte Flair and IYO SKY to join him for Imperium
In an exclusive interview, WWE Intercontinental Champion, Gunther, mentioned two of the industry’s most influential female stars as potential additions to his faction, Imperium. This comes on the back of the group’s recent move to RAW in the 2023 WWE Draft and ongoing feuds with WWE superstars like Drew McIntyre and Matt Riddle. Gunther, along with his current Imperium allies Giovanni Vinci and Ludwig Kaiser, has been a force to be reckoned with in the WWE. Gunther Names Potential Female Additions to Imperium Speaking exclusively to Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Riju Dasgupta, Gunther made it clear that, while he is content with the current lineup of Imperium, the addition of certain women wrestlers could enhance the stable’s strength and influence. The names he brought up were none other than the high-flying IYO SKY, and the 14-time Women’s Champion, Charlotte Flair. “We get asked often if we want additional members or something. I think no, we’re good how we are. I think if we have to choose someone I think it would either be IYO or Charlotte, I would think,” Gunther shared. IYO SKY and Charlotte Flair: Assets to Imperium? Both the women Gunther mentioned have made considerable waves in the world of WWE. IYO SKY, the recent winner of the Women’s Money in the Bank contract, now possesses the power to challenge for a world title at any time she chooses. Her spectacular victory and the impending title challenge make her an exciting contender for Imperium’s possible expansion. Charlotte Flair, on the other hand, is a legendary name in the industry, already one of the most decorated wrestlers in WWE history. A 14-time Women’s Champion, Flair’s experience, wrestling prowess, and flair for the dramatic would certainly add a new dimension to Imperium’s villainous image. What Lies Ahead for Imperium? After the group’s switch to RAW from SmackDown in the WWE Draft 2023, Imperium has proven its mettle by engaging in thrilling feuds with some of the biggest names in the WWE. However, the prospect of adding either IYO SKY or Charlotte Flair to their lineup could change the group’s dynamic and potentially establish Imperium as a dominating force in both the men’s and women’s divisions of WWE. While there are no definitive plans for the expansion of Imperium as of now, Gunther’s statements have stirred speculation among WWE fans. Will we see IYO SKY or Charlotte Flair join forces with the European trio? Only time will tell what the future holds for these WWE superstars and for Imperium. One thing is certain: whether it expands or not, Imperium will continue to be a force to be reckoned with in the WWE universe.
