With WrestleMania 42 on the horizon, the WWE creative team is reportedly brainstorming marquee matchups to anchor the two-night event. One potential bout being discussed would pit two of the most dominant forces in wrestling history against one another. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE is actively considering a showdown between “The Beast Incarnate” Brock Lesnar and “The Ring General” Gunther.
A Clash of Titans
Fans have clamored for this matchup since the two had a brief, electric face-off during the 2023 Royal Rumble match. With Gunther now established as a main event player and Lesnar operating on a part-time schedule that prioritizes high-profile spectacles, the timing appears perfect. Lesnar has not been seen on WWE television since Survivor Series 2025, but he is advertised for the upcoming Royal Rumble, where the seeds for this potential “Clash of Titans” could be planted.
