Gunther’s championship reign has been in question for quite some time now. Although he has crossed 600 days as a champion, fans have been speculating that he might soon lose his title considering how long he has held on to it. His latest challenger was Jey Uso on the 02/19 episode of Raw. However, Uso was unable to score his victory, thanks to his brother, Jimmy Uso.

Also, Cardona making his way to WrestleMania 40 could be a possibility since WWE had TNA star Jordynne Grace making an appearance at the 2024 Royal Rumble. This could be a hint by WWE that fans might get to see future crossovers like such, where stars from indie circuits and rival promotions make guest appearances on the company’s Premium Live Events.
