WrestleMania 39 or WrestleMania Hollywood is just three months away in the WWE calendar and the plans for the PPV have started to fall in place. Gradually, we’d be learning about the match card as the head of the creative team Triple H and his team members will book things for the Show of Shows in April 2023.
Brock Lesnar confirmed to feature at Wrestlemania
Brock Lesnar is one of the names who’s confirmed to perform at Wrestlemania 39. Ever since the poster for the event was released, he was prominently featured on it, and being the marquee attraction, the company can’t think of a match for the event without the involvement of the 10-time world champion. We also have updates regarding his opponent or the matchup at the upcoming PPV event.
Wrestlemania 39: WWE Making Plans With Top Injured Raw Superstar
According to the previous reports by Xero News, WWE has discussed Brock Lesnar vs. Gunther at WrestleMania 39. Since the latter is on the hold of the Intercontinental Championship, the title does come into the scenario. However, it’s also not fair to think a performer like Lesnar will be competing for a mid-card title.
Brock Lesnar vs. Gunther at Wrestlemania 39 won’t involve IC Title
The current plan is for Gunther to defend the Intercontinental Championship against the following five Smackdown Superstars inside the Elimination Chamber on February 18th, 2023,
– Braun Strowman
– Drew McIntyre
– LA Knight
– Ricochet
– Santos Escobar
This could be a setup for Gunther to drop the IC Title, as a follow-up update from Xero News has given indication that WWE is indeed planning to do Brock Lesnar vs. Gunther in a first-time-ever match at WrestleMania 39 but no title is likely to be involved,
“The belief backstage is Lesnar vs. Gunther would not be for the Intercontinental Title.
BUT
If it’s not Lesnar vs. Gunther, we may not even get that Chamber match, as Lashley vs. Lesnar 3 is still being spoken about for WrestleMania 39. Internally, it has not been 100% decided yet.”
According to a new report from Wrestling News, WWE has decided on Brock Lesnar’s WrestleMania 39 opponent but it won’t be Bobby Lashley rather it would be Gunther in a potential physical encounter,
“After asking someone who is familiar with the creative plans, WrestlingNews.co was told that Lesnar vs. Gunther is one of the matches listed internally for the show. Gunther has talked about wanting the match because he feels that a match with Lesnar would present the biggest possible challenge for him.”
