GUNTHER may be in some hot water.
At SummerSlam 2025, GUNTHER lost the WWE World Heavyweight Championship to CM Punk. Punks reign was brief, as Seth Rollins cashed in his Money in the Bank contract and won the title. That is only the beginning of the story, but it could have caused some backstage heat for the Ring General.
During the match, GUNTHER bled, and the incident may have caused issues backstage. Billi Bhatti of the Dirty Sheets Wrestling Informer podcast discussed the matter as he said that GUNTHER wasnt seen in the best light by some backstage after this. That blade job could also affect his future booking.
Bhatti suggested that while GUNTHERs actions might not alter long-term plans, they could still have some impact on booking decisions moving forward. Only time will tell what they are able to do with him next, but GUNTHER is still certainly going to command a spotlight whenever he returns.
GUNTHERs reigns as World Heavyweight Champion should never be diminished, no matter how he lost them. WWE Unreal may very well feature this little tidbit at SummerSlam, because they were around filming for the Netflix reality television series.
