WWE's creative team and Triple H seem to be working overtime to keep the product from becoming stale. There have been a series of character changes such as Roman Reigns, Rhea Ripley, and Damian Priest becoming babyfaces while Kevin Owens turned heel.

Another name that can turn babyface soon is World Heavyweight Champion Gunther. He has been one of Triple H and WWE's poster boys ever since he secured the Intercontinental Championship on June 10, 2022, and became the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion. The Ring General's aura is truly one-of-a-kind, and The Game capitalized on that as much as possible.

To turn Gunther babyface, WWE will have to create an angle where Ludwig Kaiser turns on the Imperium leader. Kaiser has been living in The Ring General's shadows ever since they came together to form the faction. Regardless of what Kaiser does, it's Gunther who seems to be the recipient of all benefits.

Certain moments such as when Sami Zayn telling Kaiser that he does not need Gunther can be the seeds sown for a future betrayal. Once he turns on Gunther, it can trigger The Ring General's babyface turn. Interestingly, it will be the first time he will work as a babyface.

Moreover, The Ring General took his defeat against Cody Rhodes like a true champion and acknowledged The American Nightmare. However, he threw some shade on Kaiser during the latest episode of RAW when the Imperium member revealed that he could take out Sheamus, who beat him the previous week. The World Heavyweight Champion told Kaiser both of them need to do better.

It will be interesting to see the new structure of WWE's roster if Triple H turns the big heels into babyfaces ahead of RAW's move to Netflix.


Gunther's next challenger has been decided on WWE RAW

The latest episode of Monday Night RAW was a pre-taped show due to the company's ongoing European Tour and Crown Jewel which was held in Saudi Arabia.

Damian Priest defeated Dominik Mysterio, Seth Rollins, and Sheamus in a Fatal Four-Way match to become the number one Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship. Following the victory, The Ring General and The Archer of Infamy came face-to-face.

This will be the first rematch since SummerSlam 2024 where Gunther dethroned Damian Priest.
