Rumours suggest that this will indeed be Styles’ last match, and would further define Gunther as the ‘career killer’ after the latter has already retired Goldberg and John Cena. Let’s check out a few reasons why Gunther should not retire AJ Styles.

#3. No strong build for Gunther vs AJ Styles

While WWE has booked Gunther vs AJ Styles for the Royal Rumble PLE, there is no heavy build for their match this weekend. Both men have engaged in a war of words over the past few weeks, but no history and no valid reason for their showdown makes things quite confusing.

While Gunther and Styles might end up stealing the spotlight when they compete at the Royal Rumble, with no build to their match, the Ring General retiring Styles wouldn’t be worthed. Rather, making this just the beginning of a very intriguing storyline would make much more sense, and could later lead to Styles’ retirement.

#2. Makes no sense at this point

AJ Styles has put his career on the line in his match against Gunther. For stakes this high, WWE has booked feuds for months, enhancing the heat between thestars, and then has added the clause of the ‘career on the line’. However, things haven’t been the same this time around.

Gunther, merely being in his ‘career killer’ character, cannot solely be the reason behind AJ Styles’ retirement. This is one of the biggest reasons why the Ring General retiring the Phenomenal One at the Royal Rumble would make no sense at all.

#1. Will make Gunther unstoppable in WWE

The Ring General has already become a nightmare for WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg and the Greatest of All Time, John Cena, in their final matches. Gunther is now set to seemingly be AJ Styles’ final opponent as well, potentially marking the end of one of the most decorated and inspiring careers in the professional wrestling industry.

A potential win for Gunther would undoubtedly make the star one of the most dominant forces in the entire industry, and could lead to him becoming a major threat to every veteran there is. This could make a future loss for Gunther very effective at any stage in his career, putting a huge toll on his momentum. Fans will now have to wait and see what WWE has in store for the stars at the Royal Rumble.
