WWE May Have Just Teased Gunther’s Next Legend to Destroy—And Fans Think They Know Who Is Next
WWE may have quietly dropped a huge hint about the next superstar whose career could fall victim to Gunther—and the speculation is already exploding among fans.
The dominant former World Heavyweight Champion has built a terrifying reputation as WWE’s unofficial “Career Killer.” After brutal victories linked to the exits or slowdowns of icons like Goldberg, John Cena, and most recently AJ Styles, Gunther is now being watched closer than ever.
RAW Moment Sparks Major Fan Theory
During the latest episode of WWE Raw, Gunther proudly celebrated his Royal Rumble victory over Styles. The moment quickly turned intense when Styles’ former tag partner Dragon Lee stepped up to defend his friend’s legacy.
It didn’t end well.
Lee was choked out in dominant fashion—and that single moment may have set off a much bigger story.
Because Lee has strong ties to Rey Mysterio, many fans believe the legendary luchador could be the next name added to Gunther’s growing list of fallen icons. Some supporters think Rey stepping in to defend Lee is inevitable — potentially setting up an emotional showdown months down the line.
Others argue that if Rey’s career is ever ended in WWE, it should come at the hands of his son, Dominik Mysterio, not Gunther. Either way, the conversation has already begun across the fanbase.
The “Career Killer” Persona Keeps Growing
Gunther’s aura only got stronger following his dominant showing at the Royal Rumble, where he once again proved why he’s considered one of the most feared competitors on the roster today.
And if the company is truly building him as the man who ends legendary runs, the next target could be another emotional moment for fans.
Gunther Stays Ruthless—Even With Fans
In a recent appearance on Six Feet Under, hosted by The Undertaker and Michelle McCool, Gunther shared a story that perfectly shows how committed he is to his no-nonsense persona.
He recalled meeting a fan who drove nine hours just to see him. Instead of offering emotional gratitude, he told her not to do something like that again—saying she should spend time on things that actually benefit her life.
The response shocked some listeners, but others praised how deeply he stays in character, reinforcing the cold, calculating image that makes him so effective on screen.
What Happens Next?
If WWE truly is building Gunther as the ultimate legend destroyer, every veteran superstar may now have a target on their back. And if fan theories are even close to right, the next chapter could involve one of the most respected names in wrestling history.
One thing feels certain: wherever Gunther goes next, someone’s legacy may be on the line.
