Goldberg and Gunther (Image via WWE) As the stage is all set for Saturday Night's Main Event in Atlanta, all eyes are on Goldberg, who is rumored to wrestle his final match for the company. But there is another name generating quiet but massive interest, Gunther. With the imminent presence of Seth Rollins ' faction and a Money in the Bank briefcase in play, some wrestling veterans think the real story might be The Ring General flipping sides in the most unexpected way. For years, Gunther has dominated WWE with a brutal style and unmatched intensity. He's rarely lost and never needed backup. But now, with speculation being big, insiders believe WWE may be ready to push him into unfamiliar territory, as a baby face hero. Vince Russo and Coach discuss Gunther's possible shift in character Gunther has stayed a strong heel, but fans admire his honesty and in-ring skills. During The Coach and Bro Show, a fan asked if it would make sense for Gunther to save Goldberg from an attack by Seth Rollins and his faction, a moment that could spark a dramatic face turn. Vince Russo did not just entertain the idea. He backed it. 'That's not a bad case scenario whatsoever,' Russo said. Jelly Roll's SummerSlam Debut: What WWE Got Wrong! Russo and Coach debated how WWE's obsession with 'booking for the pop' can sometimes overshadow character protection, and pointed to Gunther as someone who might be suffering because of his "bulletproof" label. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo According to them, despite being one of the strongest booked heels, Gunther is now being put in vulnerable spots, tapping out to Jey Uso, losing to Sami Zayn, possibly setting the stage for a pivot. 'I'm afraid that Gunther has fallen into that same category,' Russo added, 'You get labeled bulletproof, and it becomes the kiss of death.' Konnan and Disco Inferno believe the faction war could change everything Meanwhile, on K100, Konnan and Disco Inferno explored what could unfold between Goldberg, Gunther, and Rollins' stable. With Rollins holding the briefcase, the power balance may be shifting. Disco suggested Gunther could lose his title unfairly and then seek revenge alone, setting up a perfect face turn. Konnan on: is Goldberg NOT retiring AND turning heel in WWE? 'I think Gunther's face turn is ripe for the taking because the heel faction has the briefcase. They can actually do that. They do it where Rollins cashes in on Gunther. Gunther goes from the hunter to the hunted to being the hunter of that [Rollins'] faction, you know, like a babyface going against three others with no help and not wanting any help. You know what I'm saying? I don't know. He could. It's out there,' Inferno said Goldberg and Gunther (Image via WWE) Konnan agreed that the dynamics are interesting and unpredictable, especially with Goldberg possibly bowing out, WWE needing new top-tier faces, and the faction having major heat. Whether Gunther turns face or not, something big could happen in Atlanta. With Goldberg's legacy at stake and Rollins' faction involved, this might be the start of a bold new chapter, and possibly WWE's next anti-hero.
