In recent weeks, Gunther has been absent from WWE after his win at the King of the Ring Premium Live Event. Heading into Clash at the Castle, he does not have a match, and there is a possibility that he may lose the King of the Ring crown, especially if a certain WWE legend returns.
At King of the Ring, things did not go as planned for Randy Orton or Gunther. Orton was injured, and Gunther’s win was not a clean finish, which could lead to him being stripped of his title. Triple H acknowledged the mistake, stating that there would likely be a rematch between Orton and The Ring General once Orton returned.

Furthermore, Gunther’s absence from WWE RAW has raised questions about his status in the company. His disappearance from WWE TV, despite his King of the Ring win, could lead to him being stripped of the title.
Additionally, based on his King of the Ring win, Gunther is set to get a title shot against the World Heavyweight Title holder at SummerSlam 2024. However, with Money in the Bank set to take place after Clash at the Castle, WWE may decide to strip him of the title to add to the storyline, making it his main goal to get back the crown he feels he rightfully won.
Gunther’s absence and the circumstances surrounding his King of the Ring win have raised questions about his status in WWE. Only time will tell if he will be stripped of his title and what it means for his future in the company.
