WWE World Heavyweight Champion Gunther has hinted at another showdown with Cody Rhodes after their match at Crown Jewel 2024. Over the weekend, the WWE Undisputed Champion defeated Gunther in their highly anticipated clash.
With this, Cody Rhodes made history as the first-ever Crown Jewel Champion. He received a special Crown Jewel ring, celebrating alongside Liv Morgan, who triumphed over Nia Jax in the women’s division.

Their rivalry culminated at Crown Jewel 2024, where Rhodes pinned Gunther after countering a Sleeper hold attempt. Following the match, the two stars shook hands. Days after their intense encounter, the Ring General recently teased another showdown with Rhodes.
