Gunther has been making waves in the WWE ever since his debut in January 2019, solidifying his position as one of the greatest WWE Superstars of all time. His impressive title reigns and dominant performances have earned him a loyal fan base, and it appears that some are now speculating that Gunther could potentially take Roman Reigns’ role as the face of WWE. Following his victory over Chad Gable on RAW this week, fans were left in awe of Gunther’s achievements, and his historic reign as the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion of all time at 454 days has only further cemented his status as a force to be reckoned with.
As Gunther continues to dominate the WWE scene, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray has been singing his praises, likening his title reign dominance to Roman Reigns’ own successes. When asked if Gunther had the potential to take Roman Reigns’ role as the face of WWE by becoming the Undisputed Universal Champion, Ray made it clear that he had no doubt about Gunther’s abilities. “Without a doubt. [A] Throwback champion,” Ray said, solidifying Gunther’s status as a top contender for the top spot in the WWE.

While it’s unlikely that Gunther will usurp Roman Reigns’ position as the face of WWE anytime soon, it’s certainly an intriguing idea to consider. Reigns has been the undisputed champion of the WWE universe for quite some time, and it’s possible that fans might be ready for a change of scenery. With Gunther’s impressive track record and the fact that he’s already surpassed the legendary Honky Tonk Man as the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion, it’s certainly plausible that fans might be eager to see him take on a more prominent role in the WWE.
Ultimately, only time will tell if Gunther will eventually become the face of WWE, but one thing is certain – he’s already proven himself to be a top talent in the WWE universe. As he continues to dominate the ring and rack up the accolades, it’s likely that Gunther will continue to be a force to be reckoned with in professional wrestling.
