We’re a month away from WrestleMania, and a few of WWE’s biggest stars still don’t have a clear path to The Showcase Of The Immortals. Gunther, arguably a top five star in the entire company, doesn’t have an obvious ‘Mania direction, and if the rumors are to be believed, it’s because he was going to work with Rey Mysterio, who might not be cleared in time. If the legendary luchador can be healthy next month, that should absolutely be WWE’s plan, but if he’s going to be out, I’d like to propose a new path.
Gunther’s current storyline has seen him retire three different legends: Goldberg, John Cena and AJ Styles. Rey Mysterio is the obvious next candidate on that list, given he’s also a Hall of Famer and crowd favorite who is likely ready to leave his boots in the ring. Brock Lesnar and Randy Orton fit that same bill, but both of them have more in the tank and other storylines for this year’s ‘Mania. No one else on the current roster jumps out as an obvious choice, but perhaps there’s someone not on the current roster who does.
