Gunther is finally returning to WWE after months of absence.

The Ring General last competed last August when he lost the World Heavyweight Championship to CM Punk at SummerSlam. He has since been absent from WWE due to injury.

The 38-year-old’s highly anticipated return has finally been announced by RAW General Manager Adam Pearce on tonight’s episode of the red brand.

As he drew the competitors for the next two first-round matches of the “Last Time Is Now” tournament that are set to take place on RAW next week, Pearce revealed that Gunther will make his comeback to take on J’Von Evans.

Two Superstars Have Advanced To The Second Round On WWE RAW

The “Last Time Is Now” tournament kicked off tonight on RAW in John Cena’s hometown of Boston. In the first match, Rusev successfully overcame former World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest to secure his spot in the second round. The Super-Athlete has been vocal on wanting to get revenge on The Never Seen 17 since the latter beat him at WrestleMania 31.

Meanwhile, another former rival of the 48-year-old legend, Sheamus, has also advanced to the second round of the tournament after defeating Shinsuke Nakamura. The Celtic Warrior’s feud with Cena dates back to 2009 and saw the Irish star beat the Leader of the Cenation to capture his first-ever WWE Championship.
