Gunther May Soon Undergo Shocking Character Change

Gunther’s rumored clash with a WWE Legend may see him turn babyface.

Gunther began his second run with the World Heavyweight Championship earlier this week. He is rumored to face Goldberg soon, and that may see him become a babyface.

The WWE Universe was shocked when Jey Uso lost his World Heavyweight Championship on WWE RAW earlier this week. The two-time World Champion choked out his opponent with the Sleeper Hold, silencing the audience in the stadium. Uso dropping the title was done to lay the groundwork for a title match between The Ring General and Goldberg down the line, according to some reports.

On Notsam Wrestling, Sam Roberts discussed the crowning of a new champion on WWE RAW. He discussed the rumored Goldberg retirement match and said that the new champion may turn babyface sometime during this title reign.

“Could Gunther finally turn babyface? I wouldn’t be surprised by the time this title reign is over, he is a babyface. I think Gunther is headed towards babyface territory. The beauty of the Gunther character and the integrity of the Gunther character is that Gunther doesn’t really have to change a thing. He just fights different people and now he is a babyface.” [13:11 – 13:33]

Gunther May Face John Cena Down The Line

On the same show, Sam Roberts recalled that Crown Jewel is coming up in October. If WWE plans to have the two champions face off against each other, like they did the last time, the WWE Universe may see The Last Real Champion and the two-time World Heavyweight Champion go head to head at the event if both of them hold on to their titles till then.

At last year’s Crown Jewel PLE, the Austrian WWE Superstar went toe-to-toe with Cody Rhodes. The American Nightmare was able to get the better of The Ring General on that occasion. If the former Imperium member is still champion heading into the PLE this year, he will be looking to win his first Crown Jewel Championship.
