Returning WWE star could cost Gunther the title, feels wrestling veteran: "They must have something for him" (Exclusive)

Sportskeeda senior editor Bill Apter recently discussed a potential WWE star costing Gunther the World Heavyweight Championship. He recalled spotting Ludwig Kaiser this past Monday on RAW.

Kaiser hasn't appeared on WWE TV in a while. His last match was on the May 5 episode of Main Event, where he defeated Tyler Bate in a singles match. However, this past week on the red brand, he was backstage when Chad Gable and Penta started throwing hands.

On a recent episode of The Wrestling Time Machine hosted by Mac Davis, Bill Apter mentioned that Kaiser's return could add a whole new dimension to the Monday Night Show. He felt WWE certainly had plans for the star and was easing him back to TV.

"Yeah, Chad Gable and Penta were brawling backstage, and in the background, as the camera was shaking up and down, I saw Ludwig Kaiser. It looks like he's back. Gunther is also on Monday Night RAW. So I'm wondering now how Ludwig Kaiser is going to fit back in with the RAW brand. If he was there, they must have something for him to do at this point." [From 0:33 onwards]

"They need to feud him somehow with Gunther or maybe cost him the World Championship." [From 1:42 onwards]
