Gunther has been on a hot streak since John Cena bowed out of the match at Main Event XLII on Saturday night. The huge victory established him as a modern-day “legendary killer” after Goldberg retired this year. The heat he’s been getting lately is huge. Every stage the ring general stepped onto, he was booed mercilessly, cementing his status as one of the top players.

No matter what happens, Triple H is very close to making a huge mistake against the 38-year-old. Gunther has done nothing since Cena retired. He’s neither involved in any storylines nor teasing his future direction. The Austrian’s appearance on RAW mostly consisted of short, bombastic promos, in which He gloated over his submission win.

His momentum seemed to stall as time went on due to the lack of any progress after Saturday night’s main event. While The Ring General has gained a lot of popularity, Triple H has failed miserably to capitalize on anything. The core mistake Hunter made was failing to capitalize on Gunther’s high status and put him in any legitimate, high-stakes feud or storyline.

If this continues, the former world heavyweight champion will be completely derailed. In professional wrestling, motivation is everything, especially when it comes to heels. Ring General retires legend John Cena If that heat doesn’t translate into a compelling competition, his halo may fade. Everything the Austrians did would ultimately be meaningless.

Triple H needs to give Gunther something substantial as soon as possible instead of letting him brag about digging Cena every week. This week on RAW, The Ring General faced off against R-Truth in a match where the latter stood up to defend John Cena’s honor. WWE needs to continue this feud and not make it a one-off, as the 38-year-old desperately needs a good story to keep his momentum going.

Triple H should keep Gunther away from title picture

The World Heavyweight Championship scene is currently packed with several superstars. However, Gunther has won the title twice. There is a good chance that he will chase Dai Jin again. However, Triple H now has to keep him out of the title picture.

There are mainly two main reasons behind this. CM Punk and Bron Breakker recently competed for the World Heavyweight Championship on Monday Night RAW. In addition to Breakker, there are several names such as LA Knight and Logan Paul who are already in the queue waiting to win the big gold.

Therefore, putting Gunther in the title picture again would reduce the chances of other superstars. The second reason why the ring general should stay away from the championship picture is that he doesn’t need a championship at the moment. The 38-year-old has established himself as a top figure in WWE following the retirement of John Cena.

Triple H could build a ton of non-title storylines for the Austrian on RAW. The company could pit him against rising babyfaces on the red brand, which would help him accentuate his heel persona. In the meantime, WWE may be unveiling a name that deserves to be featured in the title match on Monday Night RAW.
