Night Of Champions 2025: The last episode of WWE Monday Night RAW was not just a regular show. It started a new chapter. Nikki Bella and Bayley returned, and it was also confirmed that Asuka will return in next week’s show. The event began with the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments, but the biggest moment came in the main event. Gunther defeated Jey Uso and won back the World Heavyweight Championship.
The match went on for more than 20 minutes. Both stars gave their best. But in the end, Gunther shocked everyone by beating Jey Uso and taking back the title he lost at WrestleMania 41. Now that he is champion again, fans want to know one thing, who will face Gunther at Night of Champions 2025?
Night Of Champions 2025: Four WWE superstars who could be Gunther’s next challengers

Jey Uso has moved beyond being a tag team wrestler and proved himself as a solo star. He was once a key member of The Bloodline but has made his own name. At WrestleMania 41, he defeated Gunther and became World Heavyweight Champion. In that match, Jey made Gunther tap out, a big moment in his solo career.
But in the latest RAW, Gunther took back the title. There is no official rematch rule now, but most former champions still get another chance. If Jey gets his chance at Night of Champions, this time it won’t just be about the title, his pride will be on the line too.
2. Roman Reigns – The Tribal Chief might return
Roman Reigns is still one of the strongest and most well-known WWE superstars. He led The Bloodline and ruled WWE for years. But things changed at WrestleMania 41 when Paul Heyman betrayed him. After that, Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker attacked him on RAW. Since then, Roman hasn’t appeared on any show.
But it’s clear he won’t stay silent. He can return at any time. He might forget his old fights and go straight for Gunther’s title. CM Punk is busy with John Cena, and Seth Rollins is in another storyline, so this is the perfect time for Roman to start a new one. If he challenges Gunther, the Night of Champions main event could be very intense.
3. Ilja Dragunov – A strong return from injury
Ilja Dragunov is one of those rare wrestlers who can change the match energy just by standing in the ring. Even though he is not very big, he fights with a lot of power. He has held the NXT UK title and has had strong matches with Gunther in the past.

But a year ago, he got injured in a live match against Gunther and hasn’t been seen much since then. If he is fit now, his first match back might be against Gunther. Their past fights in NXT UK were intense. If they fight again, fans will love to watch it. This time, it will be about revenge and continuing their old story.
4. Goldberg – Could this be his last match?

Goldberg is a big name for anyone who watched WCW or WWE. He was known for winning matches quickly and with power. He has won world titles in WWE too. Last year, he said he wanted to return and have one last match in 2025.
At the Bad Blood event, Goldberg came face to face with Gunther. This made fans believe they might fight soon. If Goldberg chooses Night of Champions for his final match, it could be one of the biggest moments in WWE this year. He may want to end his career with a title match, but beating Gunther won’t be easy.
Things won’t be easy for Gunther now
Gunther has shown that he is strong, focused, and dangerous in the ring. But the names that might face him are Jey Uso, Roman Reigns, Ilja Dragunov, and Goldberg which are not easy opponents. Night of Champions 2025 won’t just be an event, it could become a big battle where every challenger has a different reason to fight him.
Now we wait to see who Gunther will choose to fight and which direction the story will go. One thing is sure the WWE fans are ready for it.
