BREAKING: Gunther to face 46-year-old legend for the first time ever at WWE SummerSlam 2025

Gunther's opponent for SummerSlam 2025 was determined through a five-man Gauntlet Match that headlined RAW. It was won by a 46-year-old legend who will be competing for the World Heavyweight Championship in a dream match at The Biggest Party of the Summer.

The five-man Gauntlet Match began with Bron Breakker, who became the Iron Man of the bout when he ran through Penta, LA Knight, and Jey Uso in less than an hour. The last to enter was CM Punk, the 46-year-old wrestling legend.

The advantage ideally should have been with CM Punk because Breakker was worn out, but in the end, Bronson Reed's interference proved to be a huge obstacle. Jey Uso had to make the save, and it set up CM Punk's GTS, allowing him to pin Bron Breakker and secure his spot as Gunther's SummerSlam opponent.

This could be the potential main event of SummerSlam night one. But the show didn't just end when CM Punk vs. Gunther was confirmed. Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed launched a post-match attack, and even Jey Uso was taken out.

However, it was Roman Reigns who made a shocking return to help Punk and Jey, in an act of revenge against Seth Rollins' group.

The direction heading into SummerSlam is certainly going to be interesting.
