Details on Gunther’s WrestleMania 40 plans emerge
The roster for WWE WrestleMania 40 is starting to take form, and Gunther is expected to be involved in one of the matches. It will be difficult for WWE’s creative staff to come up with an opponent for Gunther to face at the event without Brock Lesnar. Even while four other championship matchups have been confirmed, Gunther’s intentions for WrestleMania are still up in the air.
In the beginning, there were whispers that Sami Zayn might battle Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship, according to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio. He said, “I had heard of Gunther and Sami Zayn. But when I watched the show tonight, it felt to me like there, it was very clear.”
However, current developments suggest a two-night multi-person contest. Then Meltzer agreed and proposed a knockout fight to decide Gunther’s opponent, mentioning some probable names. By expressing his feelings, Meltzer added, “It just could be like a multi-person match. You know, where they, because they had Chad Gable, Gunther mentioned our R-Truth and The Miz.”
