Gunther shares message following recent confrontation on RAW

Gunther is gearing up for what he hopes will be another historic championship reign in WWE. After a devastating loss at WrestleMania 41, the Austrian grappler destroyed Pat McAfee and bullied Michael Cole at Backlash. The company then made a surprising announcement, and now The Ring General is basking in his own confidence.

The Ring General had his historic World Heavyweight Championship reign cut short at WrestleMania 41 by Jey Uso. The real-life Bloodline member was recently booked to make his first title defense against Logan Paul at Saturday Night's Main Event on May 24. Uso's rivalry with the former WALTER picked back up, and it was announced on Monday that the Imperium boss will challenge either Jey or Logan on RAW from Phoenix, AZ on June 9, which is two nights after Money in the Bank.

Gunther is confident he will become a two-time World Heavyweight Champion when RAW returns to The Grand Canyon State next month. The 37-year-old took to X/Twitter today and simply shared the RAW date with an emoji to predict his stock will rise.

"June 9th, 2025. [chart with upwards trend emoji]," he wrote.

Paul vs. Uso at SNME will be a first-time-ever match. If Logan becomes champion, WWE would present yet another first in The Ring General vs. The Maverick.
