On the March 30 edition of Monday Night Raw, GUNTHER returned to attack Seth Rollins, stopping from attacking Paul Heyman.
This led to “The Ring General” challenging Rollins to a singles match for the WrestleMania 42 premium live event, but it also saw GUNTHER let Heyman know that he now owes him a favor.
With many fans wondering what this mysterious favor could possibly be, GUNTHER can hang this over the head of the WWE Hall of Famer until the time is right.
Here are six potential Paul Heyman WWE favors for GUNTHER after Seth Rollins help.
6. Joining The Vision
In 2025, Paul Heyman and Seth Rollins assembled their own faction named The Vision.
Alongside Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, The Vision became the premier stable in WWE on the Monday Night Raw brand.
Recruiting Logan Paul and Austin Theory, the group has only grown in dominance and recently added the World Tag Team Titles to their ranks.
After helping Heyman with his Seth Rollins problem, GUNTHER could gain his place in The Vision, helping his reemergence to the top of WWE Raw.
5. Getting a World Heavyweight Championship rematch
GUNTHER has not held the World Heavyweight Championship since losing the gold back at WWE SummerSlam 2025.
Since then, “The Ring General” has not even gotten his rightful rematch for the top prize on Monday Night Raw.
After taking care of Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 42, his favor from Paul Heyman could use the WWE Hall of Famer’s power broker abilities to his advantage.
Having Heyman work out a deal to give GUNTHER a rematch for the World Heavyweight Championship might be the best way to utilize his favor at this time.
4. Dream match with Roman Reigns
GUNTHER signed with WWE in 2019 and has been one of the most dominant stars in the entire company.
However, Roman Reigns has sat at the top of WWE for well over a decade at this point.
Despite GUNTHER’s place on the WWE main roster, he has never faced Roman Reigns one-on-one. Most recently, Reigns eliminated GUNTHER from the Men’s Royal Rumble to win the match and punch his ticket to WrestleMania 42.
Using Paul Heyman’s history with “The OTC” to his advantage, GUNTHER could set up a dream match against Reigns that has been years in the making.
3. Getting revenge on CM Punk for WWE SummerSlam 2025 loss
At WWE SummerSlam 2025, CM Punk defeated GUNTHER to win the World Heavyweight Championship.
Punk is another WWE star who has plenty of history alongside Paul Heyman that can be used to his advantage.
Wanting to get revenge on “The Best In The World,” GUNTHER could use his Heyman favor to get a rematch with Punk.
“The Ring General” using Heyman to finally take down Punk and potentially take the World Heavyweight Championship along the way at the same time would be a wise way to use this newly found power.
2. Retirement match with Brock Lesnar
Before GUNTHER even proposed that he would have a Paul Heyman favor in his backpocket, many fans believed that this would have something to do with Brock Lesnar.
In recent months, there have been various reports and rumors in regards to Lesnar being on his way to a retirement match sometime later in 2026.
With WWE SummerSlam 2026 set to take place in his hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota, Brock could choose the event that he has become synonymous with to end his career.
GUNTHER using his Paul Heyman favor to retire another legend in Brock would be a compelling story to tell as “The Career Killer” adds another one to his list of vanquished iconic stars.
1. Moving him to Friday Night SmackDown for a shot at the Undisputed WWE Championship
While GUNTHER is a two-time World Heavyweight Champion, “The Ring General” has never held the Undisputed WWE Championship.
In the past, Paul Heyman and The Vision have offered Sami Zayn the opportunity to move to Friday Night SmackDown.
Heyman could do the same thing for GUNTHER if he desires to challenge for the Undisputed WWE Championship for the first time in his career.
“The Career Killer” moving to SmackDown in the aftermath of WrestleMania 42 would offer plenty of star power to the blue brand and give either Cody Rhodes or Randy Orton a formidable challenger coming out of “The Showcase of the Immortals.”
