Gunther Says Brock Lesnar Match Possible After Cody Rhodes Title Clash in Italy

During an interview with the Italian Wrestling Channel, WWE heavyweight champion Gunther said his immediate priority is his upcoming Undisputed WWE Championship bout against Cody Rhodes at WWE Clash in Italy, scheduled for May 30‑31 in Turin. He confirmed he will focus on that match and did not rule out a future singles encounter with Brock Lesnar, stating, “After I beat Cody, then Brock can challenge me, and we’ll do that.”

Lesnar recently returned to WWE television on the May 18 episode of Raw, attacking Oba Femi. Gunther and Lesnar have never faced each other one‑on‑one; their only prior interactions were sharing the ring in Royal Rumble matches and a tentative WrestleMania 41 pairing that never materialized. Gunther, who has held the Intercontinental title for 666 days and has been a dominant world‑champion since his 2022 main‑roster debut, remains focused on his Turin showdown.

The interview highlighted the potential storyline trajectory while confirming the immediate championship contest in Italy.
