If Cody Rhodes has been the top attraction of this Royal Rumble, Gunther is next on the list. The duo gave a super-class performance and kept all the eyes hooked on them till the last. Some lauded Gunther even more than the winner for his breathtaking 70 minutes in the ring.

Recently, a tweet shows that the Cody-Gunther duo spent  7 minutes facing each other, which is exactly the same as Undertaker and Shawn Michaels did in 2007. On a special night on April 5th, 2009 in the Reliant Astrodome, Michaels and Undertaker created magic in the ring. During the ultimate confrontation, Undertaker was able to beat Michaels to secure his permanent place in the annals of WWE history.

Here are some of the reactions of the fandom to the suggestion.

Fans compare Cody Rhodes and Gunther with the iconic duo

Michaels boldly faced Undertaker, guided by his full dedication and sheer confidence. The powerful duo seemed to have been in a permanent place in all WWE fans’ hearts since then.

A tweet Comparing that symbolic 7 minutes with Cody-Gunther 7 minutes on stage in this Royal Rumble 2023 caused fans to expand their expectation.

 Some start to imagine them as No. 1 and No.2.

What it will be like to see the current hot favorite duo heading into an actual match in the future? Well, some of them also have that picture set in their mind.

After having a glimpse of the Cody-Gunther magic in the last Royal Rumble, the aforementioned comparison worked as fuel for fans to demand more from these two.

However, some also had the reverse opinion and didn’t really want to put the two apparently similar scenarios in the same place.

Some also find a negative parameter to compare.

However, the Cody-Gunther duo gained so many positive predictions that the negative ones easily faded out.

A quick glimpse into The Royal Rumble 2023

WWE Royal Rumble is definitely one of the tent-pole events of the WWE calendar. Fans brace themselves up for many surprise entrants, thrillful bouts, and shocking outcomes every year. The expectation for this year’s Royal Rumble was relatively high, especially after the last year’s Men’s Royal Rumble, which was quite disappointing.

However, With Cody Rhodes and Rhea Ripley winning the first rumble, Gunther giving a record-breaking performance, and obviously a super exciting main event featuring the bloodline, this Royal Rumble proved to be a massive hit. Also, there was a ‘pitch-black’ match featuring LA Knight and Bray Wyatt. As a result of all this, the event set a new all-time record by earning $7.7 million, which surpassed all previous numbers.

However, coming to the hit Cody-Gunther duo, we must surrender to time to know if they can be the future Undertaker-Michaels or not. Let us know your thoughts on this match-up in the comments below.
