A couple of months ago, Gunther told Ludwig Kaiser to go out on his own and accomplish something. Since then, Kaiser has shown a more vicious side as he has tried to win the Intercontinental Championship. He faced Breakker and Sheamus for the title at WWE Survivor Series 2024. However, Kaiser was not able to win that match. He didn't give up and got himself another title shot against Breakker on the 16 December 2024 episode of RAW, but he lost again.

However, Kaiser has shown signs that he has what it takes to be a top star in the company. Hence, tonight during the WWE Royal Rumble, Kaiser entered the match and tried to play it smart.
He took his time and waited for the right opportunity to enter the match. When he saw the opportunity, he entered and tried to eliminate Penta, only for the luchador to turn the tables and eliminate him instead. Kaiser's time in the Rumble only lasted three seconds, making it one of the fastest eliminations in history.

It will be interesting to see if this will lead to a feud between Ludwig Kaiser and Penta.

Sunil admires former world champions AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, and Kenny Omega for their ability to consistently deliver great matches as well as entertain crowds with their mic skills.
If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
