INJURY UPDATE! 💥 GUNTHER Out Indefinitely After Brutal SummerSlam Battle with CM Punk — WWE Doctor Reveals Grim Treatment Outlook

By WWE Insider Reports | August 4, 2025

In a shocking turn of events, WWE Superstar GUNTHER has been officially sidelined indefinitely following his intense match at SummerSlam 2025 against CM Punk. The match, which had already gained notoriety for its brutality and unexpected finish, has now left the Ring General in one of the most serious injury situations of his career.

🩺 Severe Injuries Confirmed on WWE RAW

During the August 4 episode of WWE RAW, veteran commentator Michael Cole revealed live on-air that GUNTHER suffered multiple injuries during the SummerSlam clash, including:

• A septal hematoma (severe nasal trauma)

• A blowout fracture to his orbital bone

These injuries were sustained during a sequence in which CM Punk delivered a flurry of knee strikes and corner elbows that ultimately left GUNTHER bloodied and dazed. WWE’s medical team rushed to his aid post-match, but the full extent of the damage was not publicly known until RAW.

💬 Doctor Speaks Out: “Treatment May Not Be Straightforward”

In a statement issued this afternoon, WWE’s lead physician Dr. Jonathan Kirkland commented on GUNTHER’s condition:

“While we are doing everything we can, GUNTHER’s recovery path is complex. The combination of facial trauma and internal bleeding near the orbital socket presents significant risks. At this stage, we cannot provide a clear timeline for return.”

This statement has ignited concern among fans and industry insiders alike, raising fears that GUNTHER may miss the remainder of 2025, and possibly key events like Survivor Series or even Royal Rumble.
