Gunther was successful in safeguarding his supremacy against Damian Priest at Survivor Series. It was an incredible moment for The Ring General, who regained his lost confidence after stumbling from the winning trail. Following the match, the World Heavyweight Champion was interviewed, where former Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett expressed his desire to join Imperium.
During the WWE Survivor Series post-show, Gunther said Wade Barrett could be a good addition to his faction. The 37-year-old elucidated that he and Ludwig Kaiser have admitted that Barrett could fit perfectly as the third member of the group. The two stars were getting along pretty nicely, as the 44-year-old also appreciated Gunther for his dominant reign so far.
We’ve talked about that before, around here. Ludwig and I have the assumption that Wade would be a very fitting member.

While the veteran was captivated by the idea of joining Imperium, he acknowledged that his age no longer allows him to be an active performer. He stated that had this opportunity arisen 15 years ago, he would have eagerly aligned with Kaiser and Gunther as the faction’s third member. Notably, Barrett’s last match took place nine years ago in 2016, where he faced The New Day on Raw.
Moreover, the former Intercontinental Champion revealed that he drew inspiration from the Austrian superstar for his outfit at Survivor Series. Besides, there were some reports that suggested that Barrett is interested in returning for a short-term program with Drew McIntyre. It will be intriguing to see if The Cosmic King makes his anticipated return to the ring or not.
Gunther embraces Wade Barrett’s experience over age barrier for a WWE return

During his appearance on the Survivor Series post show, World Heavyweight Champion Gunther tried to motivate the WWE veteran for a return.
The Ring General stated that age is just a number when it comes to making an impact in the WWE ring. He emphasized the importance of staying young at heart. The Austrian superstar acknowledged the invaluable experience of The Cosmic King in the ring, which could play a crucial role if he decides to make his in-ring return.
Barrett positively responded to such comments by the 37-year-old. He proposed that they continue these conversations over with a couple of beers after the show. It was a pretty wholesome interaction between two former Intercontinental Champions that has been going viral on social media.
