Adam Pearce announced Gunther's return to WWE RAW

Gunther has been gone from WWE for a long time now. Ever since SummerSlam, the star was gone, with reports that he had a nose injury that needed work, which kept him out of the ring. There were continuous rumors that he'd be returning, but it was never confirmed. Now, that has changed.

Heading into December, the conversation has been all about who John Cena will finally face before he retires and ends his career once and for all. A tournament has been announced, with top stars all getting a chance to prove they are the one who can face him. With him holding the Intercontinental Title, the prospect of facing him is even more interesting than usual as a result.

Gunther has been a favorite to face John Cena as his last-ever opponent

While nothing is set in stone at this point, Gunther has been a favorite to face Cena in his last-ever match.

The star has been dominant, and it has been thought that the 17-time champ putting the Ring General over on his exit from the company would be beneficial for everyone concerned and help out the star more than anything else.

It remains to be seen if that ends up happening, but now he is finally returning, so it might be far from out of the question after Adam Pearce's announcement.
