NEW DELHI: With WWE's
Royal Rumble
2024 approaching, the anticipation for the marquee matchups continues to build, and one looming question remains: Who will step up to challenge World Heavyweight Champion
Seth Rollins
on
RAW
?
While the possibilities are vast, a returning 6 ft 4 in powerhouse has emerged as a potential dark horse for the coveted title shot – none other than WWE
Intercontinental Champion
Gunther.
The Ring General has been a dominant force on the WWE roster, currently holding the Intercontinental Championship for an impressive 581+ days, making him the longest-reigning IC Champion in the company's history.
Despite a slew of challengers, including persistent foes like The Miz and the ever-threatening Jey Uso, Gunther might be eyeing an even greater conquest at the upcoming Royal Rumble.
Having successfully defended his Intercontinental title against The Miz on the December 18, 2023, episode of Monday Night RAW, Gunther's potential leap to the World Heavyweight Championship scene would undoubtedly be a surprising swerve.
The idea of facing someone of Seth Rollins' caliber at the Royal Rumble presents a formidable challenge, but given Gunther's track record and accomplishments in WWE, he could be more than up to the task.
While various superstars are vying for a shot at Gunther's Intercontinental title, the prospect of him setting his sights on Seth Rollins and the World Heavyweight Championship adds an element of unpredictability to the Royal Rumble storyline
