Gunther suffered a big defeat against CM Punk at SummerSlam this past weekend. During the final moments of the clash, The Ring general was seen bleeding after a tough clash on the Announce table. He was absent from this week's RAW episode. Fans are wondering if the Austrian star has suffered an injury or if it was a part of a storyline.

Truth about Gunther's injury

Gunther is suffering from a real life injury. The former World Heavyweight Champion has been dealing with a nose injury. But, it did not take place at SummerSlam. As per reports, he was dealing with this injury before the event, and the bloody nose spot during his match with CM Punk was a scripted angle.

As per Fightful, The Ring General is all set to undergo surgery to treat his nose before making his return. Michael Cole announced this on RAW last night. The experienced commentator said that the 37-year-old will take a break from WWE for an indefinite period.

Cole said that the injury took place at SummerSlam, as WWE has been trying to include the real-life angle in the storyline. While the blood was included in the storyline, the nose injury was real. Now, Gunther is expected to remain absent for several weeks.

When will Gunther return?

Gunther is one of the top stars on Monday Night Raw, WWE can not afford to keep him out of the ring for a long time. Fans have been thinking about The Ring General's in-ring comeback.

The former World Heavyweight champion is all set to miss the next few months. There is a potential possibility that he can make his return at Survivor Series this year, which will take place in November. Currently Gunther is being advertised for the annual event in San Diego, California.

After his return, The Ring General can begin a new chapter on the main roster. After, Monday Night Raw is currently filled with several talents with a blend of youth and experience.

WWE can place Gunther into some fresh rivalries with superstars such as Penta, Seth Rollins, Dominik Mysterio, and others. It will be interesting to see things build up.
