The July 14 episode of WWE RAW went down in the Legacy Arena at the BJCC in Birmingham, Alabama. With so much going on in WWE right now, GUNTHER is still riding high as champion. That being said, he has a big target on his back.

GUNTHER put Goldberg’s in-ring career to rest at Saturday Night’s Main Event. After that, it was the Ring General’s goal to see what is next for him, and he was on hand for RAW this week to do just that.

The WWE World Heavyweight Champion made his way to the ring during the second half of the show’s second hour. He was in great spirits after beating Goldberg, and it’s easy to see why. Fans applauded his victory over Goldberg as he started his promo, but some still chanted “Goldberg.”

The GUNTHER asked, “Who’s next for the Ring General.” That question will be answered during the main event match as five men will battle in a #1 contender match, Jey Uso, CM Punk, Penta, Bron Breakker, and LA Knight.

That is when Bron Breakker made his way out to have a showdown with GUNTHER. Paul Heyman started a promo, but then GUNTHER interrupted him, because he wasn’t interested in anything he had to say. As GUNTHER went to leave, Bron stood in his way to block him. Heyman then declared that Bron Breakker will run the gauntlet match this week and he will go on to face him at SummerSlam.

Paul Heyman called Bron Breakker “the next big thing,” the same thing he once called Brock Lesnar. He also pointed out that Breakker is a Steiner, so he will beat GUNTHER at SummerSlam. After Heyman said that Breakker will start a long title reign during SummerSlam, they let GUNTHER leave.

We will keep a close eye on GUNTHER’s journey in WWE. At this point, it is going to take a lot to get that title off him. While he isn’t unbeatable, The Ring General is certainly one of the strongest champions that the company has ever seen. If you ask Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker will be an even bigger champion.
