Gunther has been a top star in the game for a long time. He has impressed the WWE Universe with his unique performance and athleticism. Fans have long been rooting for him to have the World Heavyweight Championship in the company and be featured in the main event storyline.

At SummerSlam, he is finally getting his first shot at the World Title against Damian Priest. The two stars are set to face each other at Cleveland Browns Stadium next month. With the dominant portrayal of the Ring General, he might likely pick up the victory and be crowned as the new face of Monday Night Raw. Here, let’s discuss the potential reasons why the King of the Ring might win the World Title at the Biggest Party of Summer.

1. Ready to be the next megastar

Gunther has everything that is required to be the face of the company. He has been putting on some banger matches in his main roster run and has defined the word supremacy. Besides, there is a lack of powerful heels in the company right now. The European Star has everything to fulfill that role.

Moreover, a World Title run will certainly solidify the King of the Ring as a main eventer in the company. However, his matches don’t get the eyes of the majority audience just because they are not on the main event status.

2. Gunther will elevate the World Heavyweight Championship

The World Heavyweight Championship has been a prestigious title in the company. Some recent reigns have been star-studded, which makes the title coveted. However, the Ring General has the potential to elevate the championship to the next level.

He has done similar to the Intercontinental Championship as well when he became the longest reigning title holder in history. Similarly, Damian Priest and Seth Rollins have done an incredible job as champions. However, Gunther can make it untouchable and legitimately maintain the shine of the title.

3. Dream Matches

There have been plenty of dream matches, and the WWE Universe has been rooting for Gunther. The World Title can make those dream matches real and even more prestigious. Stars like CM Punk, Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Finn Balor, and even LA Knight have all been developing World Title aspirations. With the championship around the waist of the Ring General, fans might likely witness these mega matches in the near future.

Besides, John Cena has also announced a retirement tour in 2025. He might have a blockbuster feud with the Ring General over the World Title, and who knows, the Cenation Leader may even capture his 17th Championship by the end of the rivalry.
