Gunther will get a rare warm reception when he returns to Germany on WWE Raw. Here’s our full WWE Raw preview for the special show from Europe.

WWE Raw Düsseldorf (1/12/25) Match Card
Gunther has been berated with boos ever since he retired John Cena last year. WWE superstars have shared the US fans’chagrin with “The Ring General” for his disrespectful attitude towards Cena.
Longtime friend of Cena, AJ Styles, has been at the front of the queue to show his disdain for Gunther. In Düsseldorf, Styles can use that disdain to try to change the disrespect demonstrated by Gunther.
The European crowd will show support for Styles, too, who is a cult hero on the continent. Styles gained popularity for his appearances in TNA and NJPW, which were often easier to view in Europe than in WWE. But Gunther was built on the German independent scene and will always get a hero’s welcome.
WWE Raw Preview: What Else?
El Grande Americano had a legendary run in Germany that will surely gift him a big reaction should he get a match on WWE Raw. Rayo and Bravo are equally loved in Europe, too … for some reason.
But the lucha trio of Rey Mysterio, Penta and Dragon Lee are more likely to get time on WWE Raw after they interfered in the main event last week. The trio prevented “The Vision” from screwing CM Punk out of the World Heavyweight Championship.
New Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch will officially celebrate beating Maxxine Dupri last week. The Women’s Tag Team Championship now belongs to Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY. The duo will likely welcome new challengers after winning the gold last week.
