After an epic clash with Goldberg that shook the WWE Universe, Gunther’s path of dominance remains far from over. The Ring General has firmly established himself as one of the most feared forces in WWE, and now fans are left wondering: who’s next?

Here are five superstars who could realistically step into the ring as Gunther’s next target:

1. Sheamus

The Celtic Warrior has unfinished business with Gunther. Their past encounters, especially their brutal showdown at Clash at the Castle, were instant classics. A rematch could bring high-octane physicality and storytelling. Both are known for their stiff, hard-hitting styles, making this a dream feud.

2. Cody Rhodes

If WWE wants to elevate Gunther to the absolute main-event level, a rivalry with Cody Rhodes makes perfect sense. Rhodes is a top babyface and would present a different challenge — one rooted in emotion and resilience rather than brute strength. This could headline any major event.

3. Bron Breakker

The up-and-coming powerhouse from NXT is slowly cementing his place on the main roster. A feud with Gunther would be a great test for Breakker and a passing-of-the-torch moment in terms of physical dominance. It could also serve as a launching pad for Bron’s long-term success.

4. Drew McIntyre

Another former opponent who always brings intensity, Drew McIntyre’s rugged style matches perfectly with Gunther’s no-nonsense approach. With both men vying for supremacy, a renewed rivalry could deliver another series of hard-hitting matches fans love.

5. LA Knight

While LA Knight’s style is more charisma-heavy than physical, his growing popularity makes him a compelling option. A feud between Gunther’s stoic dominance and Knight’s fiery mic work could offer a fresh and entertaining dynamic.

With Goldberg now behind him, Gunther’s next chapter promises to be just as explosive. Whether WWE pairs him with a seasoned warrior or a rising star, one thing is certain — whoever steps up will have to survive the storm that is Gunther.
