GUNTHER Sends Chilling Warning on RAW, Says He’ll End Two WWE Careers in One Week
GUNTHER is heading into WWE Royal Rumble weekend with one clear message: legends don’t last forever—and he plans to prove it.
The Ring General is set to clash with AJ Styles in a high-stakes rematch at the Royal Rumble, but GUNTHER didn’t agree to the bout without a ruthless condition. Styles’ entire WWE career will be on the line when the bell rings.
Before they even meet in the ring, GUNTHER made headlines on this week’s episode of RAW during a tense sit-down interview with Michael Cole. What started as a routine conversation quickly turned uncomfortable, as GUNTHER verbally dismantled the longtime commentator — and even hinted at ending Cole’s career on the spot.
Referring to Cole as another “old timer,” GUNTHER questioned how much longer he plans to stay in WWE, suggesting that his time has already passed. The threat escalated when GUNTHER coldly claimed he could end Cole’s career right there if he wanted to — but chose not to.
Instead, GUNTHER said he wants Cole front and center at the Royal Rumble, calling the action when AJ Styles’ career comes to an end. According to The Ring General, hearing Cole announce Styles’ retirement will make the victory even sweeter.
GUNTHER then doubled down on his confidence, promising that AJ Styles will walk into the Royal Rumble as a legend — and walk out with nothing left.
While GUNTHER continues his reign of intimidation, John Cena recently weighed in on his own history with The Ring General. At the New Orleans Fan Expo, Cena addressed criticism surrounding his final WWE match, which ended in a loss to GUNTHER.
Cena explained that he welcomes criticism and believes the mixed reaction perfectly reflects his career. Some fans loved the ending, others hated it — and to Cena, that balance made it feel authentic. He added that he tried to tell a story fans could connect with, even if it wasn’t universally praised.
With GUNTHER openly threatening careers and AJ Styles’ future hanging by a thread, Royal Rumble weekend is shaping up to be one of the most ruthless chapters in WWE history.
