Gunther's quest for the WWE Champion title ended in defeat at Night of Champions.

What happened?

Gunther had an altercation with Nick Aldis backstage after the match, labelling him a "failed wrestler" who was jealous of him.

The Austrian's comments sparked a heated exchange, with Aldis telling Gunther to "get the f**k off of me".

Why it matters for Gunther

This incident could lead to a new feud between Gunther and Nick Aldis, with Big E suggesting it might be "leading to something more".

Nick Aldis has a rich history in the wrestling industry, having won the TNA World Champion title and the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship.

What comes next?

Gunther's next move will be closely watched, especially with SmackDown coming up later this week.

The 39-year-old Englishman has never formally retired from the ring and has teased a potential return to wrestling in the past.

Gunther's comments about Aldis being a "failed wrestler" may have been a tactic to provoke a reaction, but it remains to be seen if this will lead to an actual match between the two.

Aldis's experience in the industry, including his time as the SmackDown General Manager, could make for an interesting dynamic in a potential feud with Gunther.

The Night of Champions event saw Sami Zayn win the WWE Title, pinning Cody Rhodes in the triple-threat main event.

Gunther's defeat in the match may have been a factor in his altercation with Aldis, but the exact circumstances are still unclear.

As the situation develops, fans will be watching closely to see if Gunther and Aldis will face off in the ring.

The potential feud between Gunther and Aldis has already generated significant interest, with many speculating about the possibilities of a match between the two.

With Gunther's reputation as the Ring General and Aldis's experience in the industry, a feud between the two could be a compelling storyline for WWE fans.

The upcoming SmackDown event will likely provide more insight into the situation, and fans will be eagerly awaiting any developments in the potential feud between Gunther and Aldis.
