As announced by Giovanni Vinci and Ludwig Kaiser earlier this week on “WWE Raw,” GUNTHER will arrive on the red brand next week for the first time since the WWE Draft. It has now been confirmed that the first person on the “Raw” brand to step up to “The Ring General” will be decided via a battle royale, the winner of which will receive a future Intercontinental Championship match against GUNTHER.

While WWE has yet to name any of the participants in the battle royale, GUNTHER’s Imperium stablemates seemingly began a rivalry with Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn during their “Raw” debuts, mocking the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions in a backstage segment that led to an impromptu match. During the segment, Imperium warned Owens and Zayn to prepare for the arrival of GUNTHER, the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion of the modern era.

Besides the battle royale, the confirmed lineup for Monday’s show includes Shinsuke Nakamura vs. The Miz and WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez defending their titles against Chelsea Green & Sonya Deville. Furthermore, Becky Lynch is expected to address her ongoing issues with WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus. The show will emanate from Greensboro, North Carolina.
