The WWE Netflix era has kicked off on a high note in WWE, and World Heavyweight Champion Gunther is expected to be a huge part of this new time period. Gunther embodies dominance quite like no one else in the squared circle, which has brought him so much success in the global juggernaut scene in his relatively young career in WWE, which is expected to increase in the WWE Netflix era.
The Ring General Gunther achieved a major milestone in his professional wrestling career when he won the World Heavyweight Championship at WWE SummerSlam 2024 from then-champion Damian Priest after a terrific back-and-forth match. Gunther has already retained his prestigious title over some of the biggest superstars in the company, which has left fans wondering who might be the performer who will take the title off Gunther in the WWE Netflix era.
Who Can Dethrone Gunther for the World Title in the WWE Netflix era?
Gunther has established himself as an all-timer performer in the WWE ring. Only a rare few individuals can hang with The Ring General inside the ring, which has brought him immense respect from the WWE Universe worldwide. Gunther has been holding the WWE World Title for over 5 months now as of this date, which has begun the rumblings in the WWE Universe over who will potentially take the title from The Ring General in the WWE Netflix era.
Gunther has successfully retained his title over the likes of Randy Orton, Damian Priest, Sami Zayn, and Finn Balor, making him one of the strongest World Champions in recent memory. However, it appears that superstars such as Drew McIntyre, CM Punk, and Seth Rollins have begun aiming to dethrone The Ring General and become the new champion.
With a plethora of former champions going after The Ring General for his title, fans have been wondering who can potentially get the job done. According to reports, The Best in the World, CM Punk, is highly expected to become the next WWE World Heavyweight Champion in the WWE Netflix Era.
With his last few performances, Punk has proven he can still go in the ring and can put on a performance of a lifetime, which has restored the company’s faith in him leading them as their champion. CM Punk’s exceptional in-ring acumen, unmatched aura on the mic, and popularity among the WWE Universe make him the biggest threat out of all the WWE Superstars for Gunther and his World Title reign.
