Gunther has been one of the most dominant WWE Superstars on the current roster of the company. Last week on SmackDown, Gunther defeated Braun Strowman to retain the Intercontinental Championship.
Gunther, who made his main roster debut last year in April, wasted no time in climbing up the ranks, winning the IC title in June by defeating Ricochet. He has since competed and successfully defended the IC belt against Rey Mysterio, Ricochet, Sheamus, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Braun Strowman.
He has managed to put on very good matches against these men. His rivalry against Sheamus was one of the best rivalries of 2022, and their match at the Clash at the Castle received a five-star rating from Dave Meltzer.
Both wrestlers gave their best effort during the contest. Both men’s fortitudes were put to the test in an intense, physical contest. Additionally, it showed how committed and productive both men are to the business.
During a recent appearance on the Battleground podcast, Gunther showered praise on Sheamus. He said that the reason he and Sheamus connect very well in the ring is because of the energy and physicality they both bring to the table. He praised the Celtic warrior for being authentic in the ring and hopes to fight him again.
“He’s kind of desperate for it, isn’t he? I think for myself personally I think Sheamus is a fantastic opponent because I always like matches when it’s a little bit more scrappy.…..The matches I had with him last year were one of the favorite ones in my career and I hope we get to do it again,”
Gunther talks about a potential bout with Brock Lesnar
In the same interview with Battleground Podcast, Gunther spoke on whether he would like to face Brock Lesnar. He said that it would be a great opportunity to prove himself if he got to fight Brock Lesnar. Brock Lesnar, according to The Ring General, is the finest wrestler to ever enter the squared circle, and there is no one quite like him.
“To get the opportunity to prove myself in that scenario would be fantastic……I always watched Brock’s matches because they are fantastic, they stand out right away……You can tell he’s one of the best to ever do it. If I get a chance to get in the ring with him, I would gladly take it.”
There have been rumors that Brock Lesnar and Gunther would face off at WrestleMania 39. The match would be a delight for the WWE Universe as both beasts would display their immense strengths and exceptional ring psychology. The match can prove to be a turning point in The Ring General’s career. Who knows, it might be another one to get a 5-star rating.
