Ha! I KNEW Ruric Thar would be the Gruul champion!
For those who don't know, Ruric Thar is a Gruul two-headed giant that appears in the two RTR novels. In both, he helps Jace (albeit in very Gruul fashion.) In the first one, he is also referred to by Jace as a "champion of the Gruul." In the second novel, we learn that magic has no power over him, and simply bounces off of him, probably hinting at Hexproof or something.

Any chance they're throwing a curveball at us with guilds and champion colors? As such I ask because this dude doesn't look grul. Sure he has a red in there but no green. Maybe like the pre release a guild and a secret color on the side?
3 color legendary champions ?
Idk... Just doesn't look green enough

As in literally having the color green in the art? The palette used in an illustration doesn't necessarily have to be a perfect match for a card's colors. And Ruric Thar's skin does seem to have a greenish tone to it. Keep in mind that this is a photo of a projected image, so lightning may affect its appearance as well.
Hexproof is blue/green while double strike is red/white, and since both abilities are granted by Domri Rade's emblem we know they're found among the Gruul clans.
Ogre Worriors with first/double strike: Blood Ogre (M12) and Wrecking Ogre (GTC, Gruul rare).

And if so, does this confirm the legendary guild champion for each guild theory?

I don't know man, the Cozen would be pretty cool too.
That "theory" originated through MaRo all but saying they were coming in one of his mailbags.

Look like Ruric Thar, The Unbowed can be an Ogre Worrior with hexproof and double strike...
yea this is so bad ass. I can't wait for his flavor text
