This week on SmackDown, Gunther made a shocking appearance and attacked Cody Rhodes, choking him out in his submission. Following that, he also raised Rhodes’ title in the air. It’s clear that the Austrian wants the Undisputed WWE Championship. Meanwhile, Paul Heyman was spotted backstage on SmackDown, talking with Nick Aldis. All signs point towards one thing: The Ring General has cashed in his favor on The Wiseman.

Gunther has seemingly asked Heyman to use his backstage politics and influence to get him a shot at Cody Rhodes’ Undisputed WWE Championship. This could be the reason why the Hall of Famer was spotted having a conversation with Aldis backstage. It looks like Triple H has indirectly quashed the Gunther-Brock Lesnar theory about SummerSlam. Hunter may have subtly confirmed that The Beast Incarnate has retired for good.

However, this is entirely a presumption based on the recent developments on Friday Night SmackDown. The question still remains whether fans would get to see Lesnar again in the ring, or if WrestleMania 42 was the last of him. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for The Beast Incarnate.

Triple H seemingly has one unfulfilled wish involving Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar’s sudden disappearance from the scene has created quite an uproar within WWE and TKO. A primary reason behind it was that no one knew about his retirement at WrestleMania 42, as per reports. Amid all this, it looks like Lesnar’s departure has also left WWE’s creative head, Triple H, with an unfulfilled desire.

The Game was seemingly planning a huge program between Gunther and Brock Lesnar at this year’s SummerSlam. It was quite apparent. The creative team has been building the Austrian as the “Career Killer” in WWE as he retired three elite legends like Goldberg, John Cena and AJ Styles. Triple H was looking for another legend to sacrifice at the hands of The Ring General.

WWE’s current roster doesn’t have many names who are heading towards their retirement. With SummerSlam 2026 set to take place in Lesnar’s home state of Minneapolis, Minnesota, Triple H seemingly had plans to book The Beast Incarnate in a farewell match against Gunther, where the latter would retire him.

However, Brock Lesnar’s potential retirement act at WrestleMania 42 may have poured cold water on those rumored plans. Triple H’s potential desire to give Gunther another legend to retire and solidify his character as the Career Killer could now be just an unfulfilled wish. It will be interesting to see how things shape up.
