For about two years now, the WWE Universe has been harping on about a potential Gunther versus Brock Lesnar showdown. The Ring General taking on The Beast Incarnate would certainly be one for the ages, and it's been a dream ever since the two came face-to-face at the Royal Rumble 2023. Unsurprisingly, a wrestling legend is all for it, and he has just revealed his motive for the same.

The Undertaker has been a very vocal supporter of Gunther. The WWE legend has long claimed that The Ring General was his favorite superstar on the current roster. The Phenom seems to love everything about him, from how he speaks on the mic to his old-school wrestling style. And, recently, he flirted with the idea of seeing the Austrian star take on Brock Lesnar.

Speaking on his podcast, Six Feet Under with Mark Calaway, The Undertaker spoke highly of the World Heavyweight Champion. He was recalling a recent meeting with The Ring General when his co-host, Matt Lyda, brought up the possibility of seeing the 37-year-old take on Lesnar.

Responding to the same, 'Taker stated he would love to see the match, and believes that a clash of this caliber could propel the leader of the Imperium to a whole other level, one that no other star on the roster might reach.

"It would propel Gunther to another level. To work a program with Brock. To the heights that I think Brock could bring him to would make him untouchable. Because he already has his own style. He has his own pace and everything else. But to work with somebody...a beast like Brock would push him to levels that I'm not sure there's anybody on the roster right now, that does that," said The Undertaker. [49:12-49:50]

It certainly would be incredible to watch the two behemoths go head-to-head, especially at a major PLE like WrestleMania. However, before that can happen, there are a few things WWE will need to sort out.


Gunther has an equally incredible opponent lined up for him at Crown Jewel

While Gunther himself would be eager to face Brock Lesnar, he must not let himself delve into fantasy. After all, he needs to be focused on an equally incredible and difficult opponent at Crown Jewel. This is especially important, given that the adversary in question is Undisputed WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes.

Unless any of the world titles change hands before the PLE in Saudi Arabia next month. The 37-year-old as the World Heavyweight Champion, is scheduled to take on The American Nightmare at Crown Jewel. Of course, their clash won't be a friendly one, especially with the WWE Crown Jewel Championship on the line.

It is sure to be quite the bout, as Gunther and The American Nightmare battle it out to prove who is the number one champion in WWE. Who will come out on top? Will there be any unexpected interferences? These are questions that will only be answered a month from now when the two champions step inside the squared circle.
