Gunther is now officially the next contender for Cody Rhodes' Undisputed WWE Championship after attacking him on SmackDown. This unexpected move has sparked discussion among fans regarding the storyline's coherence, particularly since Gunther is primarily a RAW star. Previously, Gunther had been focused on the World Heavyweight Championship, having teased a feud with LA Knight. His sudden shift towards Rhodes may stem from Randy Orton's absence following a controversial incident at WrestleMania 42, which has left a gap in the storyline. Additionally, Pat McAfee's decision to step back from the feud suggests that WWE fans were not receptive to his involvement, further complicating the narrative surrounding the championship picture.
