Ludwig Kaiser resurfaced today to share a prediction ahead of WWE SummerSlam. The veteran is not currently scheduled for a match at the premium live event this weekend at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
A wrestling fan took to Instagram today to ask Kaiser to give his prediction for the World Heavyweight Championship match between CM Punk and Gunther at SummerSlam 2025.
Kaiser responded to the fan's question on his Instagram story and picked The Ring General to defeat CM Punk and retain the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam this weekend. You can check out the veteran's message in the image below.
"My money is obviously on @gunther_wwe," he wrote.![Ludwig Kaiser on Instagram]](https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2025/08/b8bf3-17540760909077-1920.jpg?w=190 190w, https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2025/08/b8bf3-17540760909077-1920.jpg?w=720 720w, https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2025/08/b8bf3-17540760909077-1920.jpg?w=640 640w, https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2025/08/b8bf3-17540760909077-1920.jpg?w=1045 1045w, https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2025/08/b8bf3-17540760909077-1920.jpg?w=1200 1200w, https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2025/08/b8bf3-17540760909077-1920.jpg?w=1460 1460w, https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2025/08/b8bf3-17540760909077-1920.jpg?w=1600 1600w, https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2025/08/b8bf3-17540760909077-1920.jpg 1920w)
Kaiser used to be featured regularly alongside Gunther in the Imperium faction, but that has not been the case in recent months on WWE television. Many fans believe that he is now portraying the El Grande Americano character following Chad Gable's injury.
CM Punk won a Gauntlet Match earlier this month to earn a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam. The Second City Saint confronted Gunther this past Monday night on WWE RAW and claimed that he needed to become champion this weekend.
Vince Russo claims CM Punk does not need to win the title at WWE SummerSlam
Wrestling legend Vince Russo recently claimed that CM Punk did not need to win the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam this weekend.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW show, Russo stated that Punk did not need to become champion at the PLE. He suggested that it was time for younger stars to be given the spotlight in the promotion.
"I don't think a belt on CM Punk does anything. Again, man, they're marks for Punk. They're gonna sing along with Punk whether he has a belt or not. They've got to start elevating other people in this company. Everybody is in the 42-43-year-old-plus club, and we got to start handing this thing over, man." [From 16:07 onwards]You can check out Vince Russo's comments in the video below:
Only time will tell which star walks out of SummerSlam this weekend as the reigning World Heavyweight Champion.
