🔥 “Only One Man Can End Gunther’s Rampage?” WWE Insider Names a Shock Threat for 2026
Gunther’s aura of destruction is back—and it’s bigger than ever. Even after multiple title swings in 2025, The Ring General has re-established himself as WWE’s most terrifying force heading into 2026. But according to one WWE insider, there may be just one superstar powerful enough to finally slow him down.
And it’s not who most fans are expecting.
After briefly losing the World Heavyweight Championship to Jey Uso at WrestleMania 41, Gunther wasted no time reclaiming his throne. He then steamrolled through Goldberg in a career-ending showdown, sending the Hall of Famer into retirement. While SummerSlam saw another title setback, Gunther’s return from hiatus flipped the switch back to dominance mode.
Since then, the 6’4” Austrian has crushed a who’s who of WWE’s top names—Je’Von Evans, Carmelo Hayes, Solo Sikoa, and LA Knight—on his way to winning the Last Time Is Now tournament. That victory earned him a historic clash with John Cena in what was billed as Cena’s final match. Gunther made it unforgettable by forcing Cena to tap out at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
As if that wasn’t enough, Gunther doubled down on RAW by submitting R-Truth, mocking Cena by taking out his so-called “little brother.” The message was clear: no one is safe.
So… Who Can Actually Stop Gunther?
On the Notsam Wrestling podcast, WWE analyst Sam Roberts delivered a bold take that instantly grabbed attention. According to him, only one WWE star has the tools to truly threaten Gunther’s reign of destruction in 2026—and that man is Oba Femi.
Oba Femi, the current two-time NXT Champion, has reportedly left WWE higher-ups extremely impressed. His size, power, and presence have already made him stand out, but Roberts believes his rise is being carefully timed for something much bigger.
In Roberts’ view, Gunther’s entire dominant run may actually be building toward one defining moment—Oba Femi stepping up as the ultimate challenger. Whether it happens quickly or unfolds across the entire year, the idea is simple: Gunther’s reign won’t truly be tested until Oba arrives.
Roberts also teased major chapters ahead for Gunther, including potential rivalries with Cody Rhodes and even a rumored role in Brock Lesnar’s retirement storyline. But when the dust settles, Oba Femi could be the man who changes everything.
The Big Question đź‘€
Will Oba Femi be the future megastar who finally brings Gunther’s destruction to a halt in 2026? Or is The Ring General still miles ahead of everyone else?
One thing’s certain—WWE may already be planting the seeds for its next massive showdown.
