Gunther appearance announced for WWE Raw

For the first time since his loss at WrestleMania 40, Gunther is set to appear on WWE television.

The former Intercontinental Champion will be on Raw this Monday. Gunther's record-breaking reign with the title ended when he lost to Sami Zayn at WrestleMania 40 night one. He did not appear on Raw in the two weeks following WrestleMania.

Gunther had been Intercontinental Champion since June 2022. His 666-day reign is the longest in the history of the title.
