Bobby Lashley, known for conquering top wrestlers, now eyes a showdown with Gunther. Despite his eagerness, Gunther initially declined the challenge for a first-time-ever match, leaving Lashley determined to make it happen soon. The King of the Ring Tournament commenced on Monday Night RAW, with Gunther securing a spot by defeating Sheamus. Lashley, aiming to do the same against Tama Tonga on Friday Night SmackDown, expressed his desire to confront Gunther, citing WWE’s prolonged separation of the two as the driving force behind his wish.
The possibility of this anticipated clash materializing as early as May 25 at the Jeddah Super Dome in Saudi Arabia looms large as WWE plans to host the King of the Ring finals there. Lashley, eyeing the prestigious title of WWE Grand Slam Champion, only needs to clinch a tag team title to achieve this feat, a milestone yet to be reached in his illustrious wrestling career. In a recent interview on After The Bell, Lashley articulated his aspirations, emphasizing his desire to reclaim the WWE Championship and secure a tag team title, setting his sights on becoming a Grand Slam Champion.

Speculations rise on whether the King of the Ring tournament will culminate in a face-off between Lashley and Gunther. The wrestling community awaits with bated breath to witness if this long-anticipated showdown will indeed unfold.
