Gunther gives himself a new nickname ahead of Crown Jewel showdown
Gunther gave himself a new nickname ahead of his showdown next month at WWE Crown Jewel. The World Heavyweight Champion will be squaring off against Cody Rhodes for the Crown Jewel Championship at the Premium Live Event on November 2 in Saudi Arabia.
Triple H introduced the Crown Jewel Championships earlier this month at Bad Blood. The Ring General and The American Nightmare had a face-to-face on this past Monday's episode of RAW ahead of their match next month. The 37-year-old took to Instagram today to give himself a new nickname. He referred to himself as "King of England" as the promotion is currently on tour in the United Kingdom. You can check out the RAW star's post below.
The leader of Imperium captured the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam 2023 by defeating Damian Priest. The Judgment Day's Finn Balor betrayed the Archer of Infamy during the match, and Gunther was able to capitalize to win the title.
WWE Hall of Famer suggests Goldberg should train in NXT before facing Gunther
Wrestling legend Teddy Long recently stated that Goldberg should spend some time in NXT before having a match against Gunther.
Goldberg appeared during WWE Bad Blood and had a confrontation with the World Heavyweight Champion. The 57-year-old has not competed in a match since his loss to Roman Reigns at Elimination Chamber 2022.
Speaking on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Time Machine show, Long suggested that Goldberg spend some time in NXT to knock the rust off. He added that the veteran could work with Shawn Michaels as well to ensure that he was prepared for a return to the squared circle:
"If they want to do something with him and Gunther, then let him go to NXT. Let him stay down there two or three weeks, get the rust off of him, work with Shawn and some of those guys down there that know what they're doing. You know what I mean? And get it right." [5:06-5:17]

In addition to his upcoming match against the World Heavyweight Champion at Crown Jewel, Cody Rhodes is also involved in a rivalry with Kevin Owens. The Prizefighter attacked Rhodes in the parking lot following Bad Blood on October 5.
