WWE officially change GUNTHER's name after King of the Ring 2024 triumph

‘The In-Ring General’ will make his debut with a new name now

In a dramatic turn of events, WWE has officially changed GUNTHER’s name following his impressive performance at the King and Queen of the Ring event.

The announcement, which was confirmed by the commentary team and echoed across WWE’s social media platforms, marks a new chapter in GUNTHER’s storied career.

GUNTHER will be now called The King General

At the King and Queen of the Ring event, GUNTHER faced off against the legendary Randy Orton in a match that quickly became one of the highlights of the night. The two titans clashed in the tournament final, with the victor being crowned the King of the Ring. He emerged victorious, delivering a punishing performance that targeted Orton’s already injured knee, ultimately securing the title.

With this monumental win, GUNTHER, previously known as The Ring General, earned a new moniker. During the event, commentator Michael Cole announced that GUNTHER would now be officially known as The King General. This name change was further validated by WWE’s official social media accounts, which tweeted out the news, celebrating his victory and new title.

Despite his triumph, The Ring General’s win did not come without controversy. In the final moments of the match, he pinned Randy Orton, but footage revealed that Orton’s shoulder was up, casting a shadow over the victory. This controversial finish has left many fans and commentators questioning the legitimacy of GUNTHER’s win.

Randy Orton, known for his resilience and fighting spirit, is unlikely to let this slide. The Viper is expected to seek retribution, aiming to set the record straight and challenge the new King General once more. This potential rematch could serve as an opportunity for GUNTHER to definitively prove his dominance and remove any doubt about his victory.

Triple H assures a potential matchup for GUNTHER at WWE Summerslam

Triple H, WWE‘s Chief Content Officer, addressed the controversial finish in a recent interview. He acknowledged that while Randy Orton was dealing with injuries upon his return to the ring, a rematch between Orton and GUNTHER is certainly within the realm of possibility. This could happen as soon as the upcoming Clash at the Castle event, where fans might witness these two superstars collide once again.

With Clash at the Castle on the horizon and the possibility of a rematch looming, GUNTHER’s path forward as The King General is fraught with challenges. His next major test could come before SummerSlam, adding another layer of intrigue to his reign.
