Ex-WWE Star Wants To Fight Gunther
A former WWE Superstar wants to take out Gunther.
On the February 19th episode of Raw, Gunther made the latest defence of his Intercontinental Title against Jey Uso. When all was said and done it was the dominant Austrian who grabbed the win with a helping hand from Jimmy Uso.
The match marked Gunther’s 21st successful defence of the gold after he broke yet another WWE record.
Such has been the star’s dominance, fans are beginning to wonder just who will be able to get the better of the long-reigning champion. But if one former WWE Superstar has anything to do with it, it will be them.
During Raw, Erick Redbeard — known to WWE fans as Erick Rowan, posted on social media that he wants to fight him.

Redbeard worked for WWE between 2011 and 2020, starring as part of The Wyatt Family. During his time with the company, the star won the SmackDown Tag Team Titles twice as well as capturing NXT tag team gold.
Gunther Could Miss Out On Dream Match
Ever since he moved to the main roster, Gunther has talked up a dream match with Brock Lesnar. Meanwhile, speculation around a potential match went into overdrive after a staredown between the pair at the 2023 Royal Rumble set social media on fire.
However, in January, Brock Lesnar was implicated in a lawsuit brought against Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis, and WWE. Former WWE employee Janel Grant alleged that McMahon had offered her sexual services to an unnamed former UFC Champion and WWE star — believed to be Lesnar.
