A new rumor claims WWE is reportedly considering a big match for WrestleMania 41 that would see Gunther defending the World Heavyweight Championship against social media star and WWE performer Logan Paul.
Logan Paul recently moved to the WWE’s Raw brand and shared his ambition to become World Heavyweight Champion. During the “Raw on Netflix Kickoff” event, he said so, and Gunther responded. The Ring General acknowledged Paul’s athleticism and entertainment value but said he’s not champion material.
“If Logan Paul thinks he can walk in here and take this away from me. If he ever makes it to the top of that line to challenge me for the World Heavyweight Championship. It will be my duty and my pleasure to slap that stupid smirk out of his face,” said Gunther.

Fans, however, are divided on the idea. Some like it, but others think other wrestlers should be getting a title shot at WrestleMania. Critics argue that Paul has no business being in a high-profile match like that.
At this moment in time, WWE has not officially announced this match for WrestleMania 41. The event is due to be held in Las Vegas on April 19&20, and fans are waiting for more information on the match card.
Logan Paul has competed in big WWE matches before, including against Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at Crown Jewel in November 2022 and Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at King & Queen of the Ring in May 2024. Gunther is a dominant in-ring performer and became World Heavyweight Champion by defeating Damian Priest at SummerSlam.
The potential clash of Gunther and Logan Paul at Wrestlemania 41 could truly bring together Gunther’s striking style as a wrestler and Logan Paul’s physical fitness and social media presence, which may draw a larger audience to the event.
