What it will be like to see the current hot favorite duo heading into an actual match in the future? Well, some of them also have that picture set in their mind.
Imagine them having an actual match it would be 🔥🔥

After having a glimpse of the Cody-Gunther magic in the last Royal Rumble, the aforementioned comparison worked as fuel for fans to demand more from these two.
We need MORE of these 2 in a 1 on 1 match
— J Burton (@IzzyWheezy19) February 1, 2023
However, some also had the reverse opinion and didn’t really want to put the two apparently similar scenarios in the same place.
I like how when HBK and Undertaker did it they made each other look good and it didn’t drag couldn’t say the same for Cody and Gunther
— Michael Anthony Terndrup 📷 (@michaelaterndru) February 1, 2023
Some also find a negative parameter to compare.
Does that mean one of them ends the other's career?
— Mortiferous Arcadia (@MorcadiaPrime) February 1, 2023
However, the Cody-Gunther duo gained so many positive predictions that the negative ones easily faded out.
Cody v Gunther champ v champ at the next mania in 24 would be a banger for sure.

WWE Royal Rumble is definitely one of the tent-pole events of the WWE calendar. Fans brace themselves up for many surprise entrants, thrillful bouts, and shocking outcomes every year. The expectation for this year’s Royal Rumble was relatively high, especially after the last year’s Men’s Royal Rumble, which was quite disappointing.
However, With Cody Rhodes and Rhea Ripley winning the first rumble, Gunther giving a record-breaking performance, and obviously a super exciting main event featuring the bloodline, this Royal Rumble proved to be a massive hit. Also, there was a ‘pitch-black’ match featuring LA Knight and Bray Wyatt. As a result of all this, the event set a new all-time record by earning $7.7 million, which surpassed all previous numbers.
