Update on Gunther’s WWE WrestleMania 42 plans
WWE reportedly had another legend lined up for Gunther at WrestleMania 42.
BodySlam reports that Gunther was originally slated to begin a program with Rey Mysterio which would have culminated in a WrestleMania 42 match. The angle was to begin after Gunther attacked Dragon Lee on the March 2 episode of WWE Raw. However, plans for Gunther vs. Mysterio are currently uncertain due to Mysterio having suffered a rib injury in January.
Mysterio suffered fractured ribs during a match with Austin Theory on the January 26 WWE Raw. He took part in the Royal Rumble match the following Saturday but hasn’t wrestled since. Mysterio has been doing commentary for recent editions of AAA on Fox, including Saturday’s airing of the first part of Rey de Reyes.
Gunther’s attack on Lee earlier this month was his last televised appearance.
WrestleMania 42 will emanate from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on April 18 and 19. Already scheduled for the show is Roman Reigns vs. CM Punk for the World Heavyweight title and Randy Orton challenging Cody Rhodes for the WWE title.
