Gunther could potentially interact with Belgian football star Thibaut Courtois during tonight’s WWE Raw broadcast from Brussels. This possibility emerges after the World Heavyweight Champion antagonized FC Barcelona fans during last week’s SmackDown.
The Ring General praised Barcelona’s rivals Real Madrid during his SmackDown appearance last Friday, creating a connection to Courtois who serves as the primary goalkeeper for the Spanish club. The timing creates an interesting opportunity as Courtois recently announced his return to the Belgian national team and is currently training with the squad.
The Belgian goalkeeper’s presence at Raw in Brussels would align with the international break in football. WWE’s flagship show emanates from Belgium tonight, creating a natural opportunity for a potential interaction between the two sports figures.
A potential scenario could involve Courtois attending the show at ringside. Gunther might initially approach the goalkeeper with apparent respect given their shared connection to Real Madrid before the champion potentially insults him, Belgium, and the football club.
This theoretical confrontation could occur during a segment involving Jey Uso, who might accuse the World Heavyweight Champion of disrespecting both him and the WWE Universe. Such a scenario could culminate with Uso attacking Gunther, potentially with assistance from Courtois.
A potential interaction between Gunther and Courtois would follow the champion’s recent pattern of engaging with football-related topics during WWE’s European tour.
