Gunther, the reigning World Heavyweight Champion, has issued a warning to CM Punk ahead of their SummerSlam 2025 showdown. The veteran wrestler took to Instagram to react to Punk’s recent victory in a Gauntlet match on WWE RAW, earning himself a title shot against Gunther.
In a bold social media post, Gunther not only addressed Punk but also took a jab at Goldberg by using the iconic “you’re next” catchphrase.

Following the event, wrestling legend Dutch Mantell shared his thoughts on Gunther’s victory over Goldberg. Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s UnSKripted show, Mantell praised the finish of the match, highlighting the unique way Goldberg was defeated without being pinned or disqualified. He commended the inclusion of Goldberg’s son in the storyline, ultimately leading to his downfall.
