Former WWE champion to become the main reason for Gunther losing his world title? It's not Goldberg
Ever since Gunther disrespected Goldberg at Bad Blood, the WWE Universe has been anticipating a showdown between the two stars. There are quite a few rumors that the Hall of Famer could return and cost The Ring General the World Heavyweight Title. However, it looks like instead of Goldberg, a former WWE champion could become the reason behind the Austrian losing his title.
The name in question is Ludwig Kaiser. The speculation arose after the tense backstage segment between the two Imperium stablemates last night on RAW. The Ring General was upset with Kaiser's recent performance and stated that the latter needed to step up his game. As a result, the 34-year-old was visibly embarrassed and frustrated.
Moreover, there have been several instances in the past when Gunther has rebuked the two-time NXT Tag Team Champion. Ludwig Kaiser could be bottling up his frustrations, which could become the catalyst in his potential revolt against his stablemate. He could eventually end up costing Gunther the World Heavyweight Championship at some point.
Given that WWE is showing tensions between the two, the chances of it happening are relatively high. The creative team could propel Kaiser into the main event scene by putting him in a major program with the reigning World Heavyweight Champion. Moreover, it would help him in getting the singles push that he has been seeking on the main roster for a while.
While it is uncertain when Ludwig Kaiser would turn on The Ring General, what remains plausible is the fact that he could be the reason behind The Ring General's doomsday. However, it will be interesting to see how Triple H plans to show the growing tensions between the two Imperium stablemates.
Gunther to drop his World Heavyweight Title at WrestleMania 41?
Gunther has been having an indomitable run as the World Heavyweight Champion on RAW. Given his past title reigns, it is expected that he might hold on to the coveted title for a considerable amount of time. However, there are chances that WrestleMania 41 could be the place where the 37-year-old might lose his gold.
It could indeed serve as a fitting end to an impressive title run. At this point in his career, The Ring General does not arguably need a championship to remain at the top of his game. Therefore, Gunther losing his World Heavyweight Title on The Grandest Stage of Them All in Las Vegas would not affect his credibility much.
Additionally, it will pave the way for several other superstars and storylines to thrive and come to the spotlight. Therefore, the 37-year-old is likely to lose his title in Las Vegas next year. Besides, there are reports that John Cena might challenge for a world title at WrestleMania. Hence, he might be the one to dethrone Gunther and become a 17-time World Champion.
It will be interesting to see how things shape up in the coming months and what WWE has in store for the Imperium leader. With such momentum on his side, he is expected to have main event storylines moving forward.
