GUNTHER Reveals He’s Wrestling Twice At WWE Royal Rumble PLE, Facing AJ Styles & Competing In Royal Rumble Match
GUNTHER is scheduled for the men’s Rumble.
One of the matches advertised for the 2026 WWE Royal Rumble Premium Live Event is AJ Styles versus GUNTHER. Styles agreed to put his career on the line.
Ahead of the match, GUNTHER did an interview with Gulf News and revealed that, in addition to facing Styles, he’ll also be in the men’s Royal Rumble match. GUNTHER did declare for the Rumble on the 1/19 Raw, but that was before the match with Styles was made official.
“My favorite match I’ve had in Saudi is definitely the King in the Ring final with Randy (Orton). It was a very big match for my career. Now we’re back here and it’s another great chance for myself to retire another legend and I’m also participating in the Royal Rumble, so I look forward to it.
As someone who has spent the longest time in the Royal Rumble in WWE history, I’m looking forward to the challenge of fighting twice in one night. It’s another very special challenge for myself and I feel like I thrive in these situations so I’m very excited.”
