GUNTHER, WWE’s dominant World Heavyweight Champion, is reportedly in the final stages of negotiating a new multi-year contract with the company.

According to WWE sources via PWInsider the deal is either finalized or nearing completion, securing “The Ring General’s” place in WWE for years to come.

Since debuting in NXT in 2019, GUNTHER has solidified his reputation as one of WWE’s most imposing forces. His lengthy reign as Intercontinental Champion elevated the title’s status with a string of punishing, hard-hitting matches. Now, as World Heavyweight Champion, GUNTHER has continued his dominance, most recently retaining the title against Damian Priest at Survivor Series in a match that saw interference from Finn Balor.

But the bigger story may be GUNTHER’s apparent character evolution. Last night on RAW, after defeating Dominik Mysterio, GUNTHER was blindsided by Balor in a brutal attack. The shocking moment appeared to cement GUNTHER’s babyface turn, marking a potential new chapter in his WWE journey. This sets the stage for a highly anticipated showdown between GUNTHER and Balor at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
