Due to the reported changes, former WWE writer Dewey Foley, the son of Hall of Famer Mick Foley, drafted his own WrestleMania 42 match card. One of the matches Dewey proposed is a retirement match featuring Gunther against Rey Mysterio.

Just like with the AJ Styles match, this will be a Career Threatening Match for Rey Mysterio. Gunther being called The Career Killer makes sense if he could add another name to his list that already contains Bill Goldberg, John Cena and Styles.

The seeds for this match were also planted a couple of weeks ago, when Gunther was confronted by Dragon Lee. The Ring General beat up Styles’ former tag team partner, putting him in a chokehold outside the ring and dangling him by the throat.

With Lee’s connection to Mysterio, it appears inevitable as long as plans don’t change again.
