Brock Lesnar has been absent from WWE television since the SummerSlam Premium Live Event, where he faced off against Cody Rhodes. His return seems unlikely at the moment, possibly linked to his involvement in Vince McMahon’s trafficking lawsuit. In light of this situation, Gunther expressed uncertainty over facing Brock Lesnar in a match someday.
The Ring General and The Beast Incarnate came face to face at the Royal Rumble last year and showed a glimpse of what they could do. The Ring General had previously stated that his encounter with Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble gave him confirmation that the WWE Universe was rooting for the match to happen as well.
However, WWE has been taking steps to remove Brock Lesnar from all events, as they nixed plans for his Royal Rumble return and creative plans for the forseeable future as well.
While speaking to GVWire, Gunther was asked about his dream match against Brock Lesnar. The Ring General made it clear he is not certain about squaring off against Lesnar again in the future.
“I always was vocal about my dream match in the past, but that fell through now. I don’t know if we’ll see Brock again if that’s ever going to happen. But I’m wide open when it comes to that as of now.”
Brock Lesnar has also been removed from WWE’s opening video package. As for Gunther, he is currently feuding with Jey Uso and the two will likely battle it out at the Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event on February 24th. Regardless, only time will tell if Lesnar and Gunther will ever duke it against each other in the future.
