Gunther’s Favour To Paul Heyman Following Brock Lesnar Retirement

With Brock Lesnar now seemingly done with WWE, there is a lot of speculation among fans on what the favour that Paul Heyman owes Gunther will be after he stepped in to face Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 42.

Many believed that with Gunther’s current career killer gimmick after retiring Goldberg, John Cena and AJ Styles, that the favour would be for Gunther to face the Beast Incarnate in his retirement match at SummerSlam in Minneapolis.

However, with Lesnar now seemingly gone, and Gunther now being moved over to SmackDown to challenge Cody Rhodes, the possibilities on what the favour could end up being have narrowed.
