15 New Directions For WWE After WrestleMania 42
5. Gunther Getting His Dream Match
If Brock Lesnar is done after WrestleMania 42, then fair enough. He's more than earned the right to make that decision himself, but it'd be a crying shame if Brock called it a career without tangling with someone who's desperate to share the ring with him. Gunther has always maintained that working against Lesnar is his dream match.
WWE must make it his reality.
Gunther vs. Brock was presumably considered for this year's 'Mania, but didn't happen for one reason or another. In the end, both guys won out of that rethink. Gunther had a thumping match vs. Seth Rollins and got another momentum-boosting win, and Lesnar put Oba Femi over as the next 'Beast' around these parts.
It's more likely that Brock announces a retirement tour than calls it quits after losing to Oba. Also, SummerSlam has been rumoured as his true end date for months now, and it takes place in his current home state of Minneapolis. Tack on the trusty retirement stipulation and we'll be off to the big dance on Gunther vs. Lesnar.
Whether or not Gunther wins it is up for debate, but WWE has to book that match before they let Brock go home. They simply have to. Someone will need to pinch the 'Ring General' if he's booked to retire Bill Goldberg, John Cena, AJ Styles and Brock Lesnar in the same calendar year.
Did anyone see that coming when there were reports about Vince McMahon demoting him back down to NXT before he shuffled out of the big chair and stopped leading company creative?!
