During this week's SmackDown, Paul Heyman was seen in a backstage segment with Adam Pearce, which has led to speculation about Gunther's transition from RAW to SmackDown. Fans believe that this move was a favor from Heyman, potentially confirming rumors about Brock Lesnar's retirement. Gunther, who previously faced Seth Rollins on RAW, is now focused on challenging Cody Rhodes for the WWE Championship at Backlash. The storyline suggests that Gunther may have requested Heyman's assistance in securing this opportunity, especially since Roman Reigns is currently occupied with Jacob Fatu. Gunther's past actions, where he protected Heyman from Seth Rollins, could have created a narrative debt that he is now calling in. As the storyline unfolds, fans are eager to see if Gunther can dethrone Rhodes or if Randy Orton will make a surprise return to settle scores from WrestleMania 42.
