Brock Lesnar and Gunther
30 Men's Royal Rumble Match https://t.co/mbmL20vW2S
Gunther arguably stole the show at WrestleMania 39 as he, Drew McIntyre, and Sheamus collided in a triple-threat match for the Intercontinental Championship. The Ring General secured a hard-fought victory over his rivals in a 16-minute contest.
Gunther wants a match against Brock Lesnar
At the 2023 Royal Rumble event, fans got a taste of a potential showdown between the two WWE powerhouses. Both Lesnar and the Imperium leader came face-to-face during the 30-man bout.
During a recent interview on The Rob Brown Show, Gunther stated that he sees Lesnar as his "end boss" opponent in World Wrestling Entertainment.
"A beast. I always loved his matches and was always very impressed with them. And also, with the recent years in WWE, I always thought it would be a thing for a wrestler and my style and stuff, that's my end boss, if that makes sense. I get portrayed as the end boss in wrestling for a lot of guys, but I think Brock could be my end boss. I really hope that match goes down at some point." [H/T f4wonline]
Brock Lesnar's first feud post-WrestleMania looks set in stone as he viciously attacked Cody Rhodes on Monday Night RAW last week. This has led to The American Nightmare challenging The Beast to a match at Backlash.
