Aldis returned to TV at Saturday Night’s Main Event XLV and cost Gunther the opportunity to get added to the Undisputed WWE Championship match at SummerSlam between CM Punk and Cody Rhodes. On X, Aldis doubled down on his actions, admitting that he was quite proud of what he did.

“Damn right it did.” wrote Aldis.

Jonathan Coachman thinks WWE might’ve given up on Gunther’s push

Jonathan Coachman thinks that the company might’ve given up on Gunther’s push. The veteran has admitted that The Ring General’s style is suitable to his liking and is very 1980s-ish.

Speaking on Behind The Turnbuckle Studios’ 2 Count Tuesday, Coachman stated that Gunther has become an afterthought with his booking, especially during his feud with Sami Zayn and Cody Rhodes.

“I’ve never met Gunther. I’m sure he’s a hell of a nice guy, but for my enjoyment, his style is not enjoyable to me. I wonder, at some point in the last six months, if they have realized, and maybe they look at numbers, and when he comes on, the numbers just aren’t there. That’s possible… His style is very 1980s-ish, and to me it doesn’t resonate in 2026. I feel bad for Gunther because he was supposed to be the number one heel, and now he was the third leg in a match with Sami Zayn and Cody Rhodes,”

Gunther failed to win the Undisputed WWE Championship on multiple occasions in the past few weeks. He could eventually step into the ring with Nick Aldis for a match.
