After a month of speculation that CM Punk would challenge world heavyweight champion Seth Rollins at WrestleMania, a new plan is in place. Gunther is the favorite to win the Royal Rumble and then dethrone Rollins on the first night of WrestleMania.

It was unexpected news for the fans, as The Best in the World has been a favorite to win the Royal Rumble for a long time. This new report has certainly taken the fans off the ground. However, it needs to be accepted with a grain of salt. Gunther implicitly challenged Rollins for the World Title at WrestleMania this week on Raw. As for CM Punk, he had a rugged interaction with Cody Rhodes to hype up the fans for the Royal Rumble.

Fans will be keeping a keen eye on the 30-man match this week, as it will give a clear picture of the Grandest Stage of Them All this year. However, only time will tell who is going where on this erratic path towards WrestleMania 40.

Speaking with Daniel Cormier on ESPN MMA, Rollins expressed that he is motivated to come back to his full strength. He mentioned that he was close to a catastrophic injury. However, as of now, his ACL is intact, and he is really looking forward to being in the ring once again.

Dodged a bullet the ACL is intact, the MCL will heal with time, I’m hoping to be back at full strength in around a month, [that’s] my kinda timeline. We’re gonna take it day-to-day, I’d like to be back in a month, I don’t wanna walk into WrestleMania & that be my first match in 2/3 months, that’s not gonna be good for me.
