GUNTHER’s Reign Continues: What’s Next After Defeating Sheamus?
On “Raw,” the “Ring General” GUNTHER extended his undefeated streak by defeating the Celtic Warrior Sheamus in the first round of the King of the Ring tournament. This victory has left fans wondering what’s next for GUNTHER as he continues his dominant run on the main roster.
The King of the Ring Tournament
GUNTHER’s victory over Sheamus sets him up for a match against the winner of Kofi Kingston versus Rey Mysterio, which will take place at a WWE live event. If he emerges victorious again, GUNTHER will then face the winner of the match between Ilja Dragunov and “Main Event” Jey Uso in the semi-final of the tournament.
The King of the Ring tournament is a prestigious event that has been won by some of the biggest names in WWE history, including Bret Hart, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Triple H. A victory in this tournament would further elevate GUNTHER’s status and solidify his place as one of the top stars in the company.
Potential Title Contendership
Former WCW booker Kevin Sullivan believes that GUNTHER is poised to win the King of the Ring tournament and challenge for a championship at WWE’s Bash in Berlin premium live event at the end of August. GUNTHER’s recent performances have been highly praised, and Sullivan believes he has the star power to headline a major event in Germany.
“GUNTHER is so hot. He’s so believable…He gutted it out,” Sullivan said. “[WWE] turned him down and then they finally accepted and then they pushed him remarkably, and his performances have been through the roof.”
International Expansion
WWE has had great success holding major events in countries outside of the United States, including France, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, and Puerto Rico. Sullivan believes that GUNTHER’s popularity in Germany and Austria could lead to WWE holding more events in those countries.
“They just have to put GUNTHER’s name on there and whoever he’s wrestling, they’re going to sell that thing out,” Sullivan said. “And maybe, [because] of the success they have, maybe they’ll be back at least twice a year.”
Conclusion
GUNTHER’s victory over Sheamus has set the stage for an exciting run in the King of the Ring tournament. If he can continue his dominant form, he could soon be challenging for a championship and headlining major events around the world. With his star power and international appeal, GUNTHER has the potential to become one of the biggest stars in WWE.
