Dutch Mantell thinks Brock Lesnar vs. Gunther won't happen at WWE WrestleMania 39

Brock Lesnar was confronted by Gunther during the 30-Man Royal Rumble Match. For months, fans have expressed their interest in a match between the two men, with The Ring General himself naming the Beast as a dream opponent.

Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's latest edition of UnSKripted, wrestling veteran Dutch Mantell recently explained why he thinks The Beast Incarnate won't cross paths with the reigning Intercontinental Champion. Mantell said:

"I don't think we're going to see Gunther and Brock [Lesnar] for a while, because he's used to taking his time and when he pulls the trigger on that, and now we got all this time to play with it. To tease it here, to add there. It's like we're talking about when they're going to pull the trigger on Sami [Zayn]. We knew they were going to do it, but we didn't know when. Now they can do the same technique on Gunther and Brock."

Lesnar is likely to face Bobby Lashley once again at WrestleMania 39. Lashley eliminated Lesnar from the 30-Man Royal Rumble Match and got some payback after the former UFC fighter cost his arch-rival the WWE United States Championship against Austin Theory.
