Here are four replacements for Gunther on Monday Night Raw:
#4. Jacob Fatu
Jacob Fatu is a strong candidate to step up into a more prominent upper-card role on Monday Night Raw, especially with Gunther potentially moving to SmackDown. Having recently moved to the red brand post-WrestleMania, The Samoan Werewold already has fresh momentum on the brand. He has started a blockbuster feud with Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship. WWE could use this opportunity to make Fatu a true main-event star.
The company can give him a similar push to The Ring General, putting him in some marquee feuds. Replacing Gunther requires someone who can project the final boss vibes in the main event picture and Jacob Fatu is the perfect man for the job. His indomitable aura and impressive physique already make him a menacing figure on the main roster. Regardless of whether he is a babyface or heel, Fatu can surely fill the void of The Ring General on the upper card of RAW.
#3. Oba Femi
There is no doubt that Oba Femi stands out as an excellent option to fill Gunther’s shoes on RAW. And that’s primarily because of his monstrous presence, rapid rise, and untapped main event potential. Ever since arriving on the main roster, WWE has been portraying Femi as the next big thing. He even went on to defeat Brock Lesnar in his very first WrestleMania match. However, The Ruler has been directionless on the roster in the post-Mania season.
But now, The Ring General’s departure from RAW gives WWE an incredible opportunity to give him the big top-tier push. The company can establish Oba Femi as the new unstoppable force on the flagship show, similar to Gunther. The Austrian powerhouse, for years, occupied a role as a no-nonsense, elite-level competitor who could headline and elevate others. Femi very well mirrors this with his impressive athleticism and commanding aura.
#2. Royce Keys can replace Gunther
Royce Keys is another monstrous figure WWE currently has on the main roster. However, he has been working on Friday Night SmackDown, establishing himself as a dominant star. Now that Gunther would potentially be working on the blue brand during his feud with Cody Rhodes, WWE has a very good opportunity to move Keys to the red brand and establish him in the upper card. He is a compelling choice to step into the mainevent void on RAW.
There is no doubt that Royce Keys is a daunting figure due to his humongous build and strength. He could maintain the aura that The Ring General had maintained on RAW for the past few years. Giving him a significant push in the top-tier picture on the red brand could give rise to some exciting feuds and storylines. Keys could evolve into a consistent main event draw, headlining premium live events and helping sustain Monday Night Raw’s momentum.
#1. Bron Breakker
Bron Breakker is the premier choice to replace Gunther as Monday Night Raw’s top-tier powerhouse and mainevent cornerstone. The 28-year-old has been part of The Vision lately and is currently involved in a feud with Seth Rollins. WWE could use this as an opportunity to establish Breakker at the pedestal of the men’s division. The company has wisely protected his aura with decisive wins and big spots, building him as a future face of the company.
Elevating him now capitalizes on that investment, turning Bron Breakker into the brand’s flagship performer. He has every tool that is required to be the biggest star on the brand. Besides, Breakker is also the perfect candidate because he could establish himself as the biggest monstrous heel on the brand, similar to Gunther. Therefore, WWE can push The Vision leader in the upper card now that The Ring General may have moved to Friday Night SmackDown.
