Gunther May Turn Babyface Following Major Twist

Gunther WWE

Gunther has been nothing short of dominant during his time on the main roster.

He’s built a reputation as one of WWE’s most fearsome and disciplined heels. His physical style, intense presence, and commanding aura have made him one of the most respected superstars in the game.

Now, with a blockbuster showdown against Goldberg looming, the next chapter in Gunther’s story may come with an unexpected twist, a babyface turn.

Seth Rollins Could Force Gunther To Turn Babyface

On the latest episode of Keepin’ It 100 OFFICIAL, a fan pitched the idea of Goldberg turning heel and aligning with Seth Rollins’ new faction. But co-host Disco Inferno had a different take entirely. He believes this could be the perfect time to flip the script on The Ring General and shift him into the role of a heroic underdog, a baby face with a purpose.

I think Gunther’s face turn is ripe for the taking because the heel faction has the briefcase,” Disco said. “They can actually do that. They do it where Rollins cashes in on Gunther. Gunther goes from the hunter to the hunted to being the hunter of that [Rollins’] faction.”

“You know, like a babyface going against three others with no help and not wanting any help. You know what I’m saying? I don’t know. He could. It’s out there.

The idea of Gunther turning babyface may sound far-fetched on the surface, especially given how well he’s flourished as a villain. But this twist could freshen up his character and provide him with a new set of challenges.

The image of the current World Heavyweight Champion battling against the odds, refusing help, and trying to dismantle Rollins’ faction piece by piece could quickly endear him to fans in a new way.

As WWE continues to plant seeds for SummerSlam and beyond, the potential shift in Gunther’s character could shake up the main event scene. With Goldberg in the picture and Rollins looming with a briefcase, all the elements are there for a major character transformation.
