Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion "The Ring General" GUNTHER has not appeared on WWE programming since SummerSlam, where he lost the championship to CM Punk. During that event, GUNTHER tripped and hit the announce desk hard, causing him to bleed profusely. It was later reported that GUNTHER underwent nose surgery and would be out indefinitely.
According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, GUNTHER is expected to return to the company "very soon," although a specific date for his return has not yet been disclosed. More details regarding GUNTHER's impending return to WWE TV will be provided as they become available.
