Below are some top WWE news stories of the day, involving Gunther and more.
• During an interview with Chris Van Vliet, Ludwig Kaiser was asked if he’d ever betray Gunther and go after the World Heavyweight Championship.
Here’s what Kaiser replied:
“It’s better to be on Gunther’s side than against him, you know? As a European, obviously, he is one of my best friends, and I am always loyal; I would never turn on him; I don’t think so.
I was about to say ‘never say never,’ but in this case, I will say I will never turn on him. It’s always about prioritizing, and I know that Gunther would do the same thing for me.”

• The new WWE LFG (Legends & Future Greats) show may not be as legitimate as it seems.
According to the Wrestling Observer, all 16 contestants fighting for an NXT contract are already signed to NXT, making the competition more of a scripted storyline than a real contest:
“It’s 16 guys and they’re competing for an NXT contract. Okay, and all 16 already have NXT contracts. They’re all NXT contracts and they’re fighting to win an NXT contract.
It’s like they make this thing a competition and it’s like a work from day one. You know, all these people competing to get into WWE, chasing their dreams and everything, and every single one is already under contract. Many of them have been on House Shows, almost all of them.”
Despite being marketed as a reality-based show, LFG is structured more like traditional WWE programming. Featuring mentors like The Undertaker, Bubba Ray Dudley, Booker T, and Mickie James, along with appearances from CM Punk and Gunther, the show presents a high-profile journey—though its outcome appears predetermined.
