Seth Rollins‘ faction has emerged as one of the most powerful stables on WWE RAW, sparking speculation about its influence on the future direction of several wrestlers. Notably, Disco Inferno recently suggested that the faction might prompt a surprising face turn for Gunther, who has yet to experience a babyface run in WWE. This development is being discussed as part of the evolving storyline dynamics on the red brand.
The Possibility of Gunther Turning Face Within Rollins’ Group
Gunther, known as The Ring General, has consistently impressed fans with his in-ring performances despite maintaining a heel persona. The 37-year-old star has steadily built a reputation without a single run as a babyface during his WWE tenure. Disco Inferno, speaking on the podcast K100 with Konnan and Disco Inferno, believes the timing is right for Gunther to switch allegiances and that Seth Rollins’ faction could be the catalyst for this change.
Disco Inferno pointed out that the faction possesses the Money in the Bank briefcase, which can serve as a narrative device leading to Gunther’s face turn. If Gunther were to lose his World Heavyweight Championship to Seth Rollins after a cash-in, it could shift Gunther’s role from a dominant heel to a resilient babyface fighting against the odds.
“I think Gunther’s face turn is ripe for the taking because the heel faction has the briefcase. They can actually do that. They do it where Rollins cashes in on Gunther. Gunther goes from the hunter to the hunted to being the hunter of that [Rollins’] faction, you know, like a babyface going against three others with no help and not wanting any help. You know what I’m saying? I don’t know. He could. It’s out there,” Inferno said. (From 01:30 to 01:58)

Upcoming Matchups Set the Stage for Potential Shifts in WWE RAW Storylines
Despite sharing the same roster, Seth Rollins and Gunther have yet to engage in a major feud or one-on-one match in WWE RAW, particularly under the current creative direction led by Triple H. Each wrestler is currently focused on different rivalries, with Rollins targeted by LA Knight, who stands as the chief contender for The Visionary’s position.
Rollins and LA Knight are scheduled to face off in Atlanta during WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, adding an important chapter to the red brand’s ongoing storylines. Meanwhile, Gunther’s reign as World Heavyweight Champion has quickly attracted attention due to a confrontation with WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg, setting up a high-stakes retirement match in the same event. This clash promises to be a defining moment for both men, as the championship and Goldberg’s career are on the line.
What a Gunther Face Turn Could Mean for WWE’s Storytelling
If Gunther does make the switch from heel to face, it would mark a significant turning point for his character and WWE’s portrayal of The Ring General. The transition could open new narrative pathways and fresh rivalries, especially involving Seth Rollins and the members of his faction. This move might also energize the WWE RAW audience by showcasing Gunther in a new light as a heroic figure standing alone against sinister odds.
The interaction between Rollins’ faction holding the Money in the Bank briefcase and Gunther’s championship reign provides fertile ground for dramatic storytelling. Fans will likely watch with interest to see if this insider prediction comes to fruition in the coming weeks, potentially reshaping the competitive landscape of WWE’s flagship show.
Saturday Night’s Main Event in Atlanta will be a critical event to observe, not only for the scheduled matches but also for any story developments involving these key performers. As WWE continues to balance veteran influence with rising stars, the Seth Rollins faction Gunther face turn remains a compelling possibility that could alter the trajectory of Monday Night RAW.
