There are very few wrestlers who can boast of being unbeatable in WWE. Undefeated streaks in WWE are held in high regard, as we have seen in cases like Roman Reigns, Asuka, and Goldberg. The current streak that has been growing in dominance on every single episode of Raw is that of Gunther.

The Intercontinental Champion is nothing but a wave of terror for his opponents. But what happens when an indestructible force meets the charisma and tenacity of The American Nightmare?

He said, “I don’t have a message for him right now. He’s doing his thing, I’m doing my thing. If the paths cross again, when that happens, let’s see. I’m not focused on that right now.

While he has hinted at a match in the future, could we possibly see them face each other?

When could we see their paths colliding in WWE?

A possible clash between these two fan-favorites could come in the most casual way or it could be a grand occasion. The realistic way of thinking about this would be that Gunther and Rhodes meet each other at Rumble next year as well. But another way that they could cross paths is a little convoluted but not out of the question.

As many predict, Rhodes is the favorite to main event WrestleMania 40 next year and finally complete his story by pinning Reigns for the world title. When that happens, Rhodes will need a plethora of opponents to solidify his new reign. This is where Gunther would come as a legitimate threat, another unbeatable giant standing in Rhodes’ path.
