Gunther continued his victory parade in the latest episode of “Raw”, one week after retiring John Cena.
The pompous Gunther appeared in the holiday episode of “Raw” with a triumphant grin on his face, with the crowd greeting the Austrian with a mix of cheers and boos.
Gunther kept on gloating and laughing without uttering a word, and at one point he exited the ring and stood on the announcer’s desk to further provoke the crowd.
“You really shouldn’t be mad at me,” Gunther told the fans as it took him over four minutes to talk into a microphone.
“You should be mad at the guy that tapped out like a little b*tch,” the arrogant heavyweight stated.
Punk and Gunther share tense staredown
Before Gunther could mutter another word, World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk came out to confront him.
The pair stared down at each other, but before it came to blows, “The Ring General” laughed it off and left the ring.
But Gunther once again mocked Cena, mimicking his “You Can’t See Me” taunt to Punk.
The “Best in the World”, who Cena described as his “wrestling soulmate,” stared daggers at the man who retired a wrestling legend as he made his exit.
AJ Styles, considered as one of Cena’s greatest rivals, also confronted Gunther backstage.
“You just don’t know when to shut up, do you?” Styles told the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion, who outright accepted the remark.
“Guess I don’t,” Gunther replied.
Last week, Styles and Gunther also had a tense confrontation, where the brash Austrian also did the “You Can’t See Me” taunt to Styles.

Gunther addresses potential match with Styles
Appearing at an episode of “The Masked Man Show” podcast, Gunther praised Styles’ accomplishments from earlier in his career and stated that he had never fought him before.
He acknowledged that a match with Styles would be interesting, but he stated that he is not keeping a list of opponents he wishes to retire.
Aside from Cena, Gunther also retired Goldberg earlier in the year, and fans are anticipating that he will also retire Styles, as the “Phenomenal One” said that he is looking to step away from the squared circle in 2026.
“I don’t really have a list, but yeah, AJ? Yeah, I never wrestled AJ before. And I think that would be a great one.
“Because AJ is definitely one of the best cruiserweight wrestlers in TNA (Total Nonstop Action) history,” Gunther said, mentioning Styes’ pre-WWE career in TNA.
