WrestleMania 40 was a historic event for Gunther but in all the wrong ways. After 666 days, his incredible reign as Intercontinental Champion came to an end at the hands of Sami Zayn.
Despite ridiculing Zayn and doubting his in-ring abilities, The Ring General couldn't deliver when it mattered most. Since then, he has been absent from WWE television, leading to questions about his whereabouts. So, with that in mind, when will he make his return?
According to reports by WrestleVotes, Gunther will be back in action very soon. The report suggests that the Austrian superstar will be on next week's episode of Monday Night RAW in Columbus, Ohio. If this proves to be true, it could make for an interesting episode, especially considering he will likely address his future plans.
Assuming he does make a return, there are a couple of ways Gunther can go about it. For starters, he may insert himself back into the Intercontinental Championship picture. After all, he will want revenge on both Sami Zayn and Chad Gable, but he could also choose to move on to bigger and better things.
At the end of the day, this is all just mere speculation. There is no telling if he will be on RAW until he actually makes his return. The WWE Universe will just have to patiently wait and see what happens.
Gunther has hinted at challenging for the World Heavyweight Championship
When Gunther does make his return to WWE, it will be interesting to see what his plans for the future are.
With the WWE Draft also looming, there is no telling if he will remain on RAW. And, while many would like to see him regain the Intercontinental Championship, The Ring General may just have other ideas.
A while ago, Gunther hinted at challenging for the World Heavyweight Championship. On an episode of RAW, he confronted the then-champion, Seth Rollins, and offered to take the title off his hands.
Now, although The Visionary is no longer the World Heavyweight Champion, the idea of beating Damian Priest and having the title around his waist would likely entice the 36-year-old.
Things are bound to get interesting in the coming weeks, especially once The Bull of Vienna makes his return. It will be intriguing to see what his plans are, and if he decides to go after the World Heavyweight Championship.
