Gunther

Gunther is the name shared by two distinct figures: a historical 5th-century Burgundian king and a modern professional wrestler. The historical figure, Gundahar, was a King of the Burgundians in the early 400s. He is notable for his role in the politics of the late Roman Empire, his settlement as a Roman ally, and his ultimate defeat and death at the hands of Roman forces aided by Hunnish mercenaries in 437 AD.

In contemporary culture, the name is more widely recognized as the ring name of a prominent WWE wrestler. This modern Gunther is notable for his dominant in-ring style and his record-breaking reign as the longest-ever Intercontinental Champion in WWE history, which has established him as a top performer in professional wrestling.

The term has been trending recently due to the wrestler's high-profile activities. News headlines from November 2025 report on his return to WWE television, where he competed in and won a match to advance in a significant tournament. His participation in this event, which also featured the use of his previous theme music, has generated considerable discussion among wrestling audiences.
