GUNTHER is just days away from making his first televised WWE World Heavyweight Title defense when he puts it on the line against Randy Orton at the Bash in Berlin Premium Live Event this Saturday.
GUNTHER won the title from Damian Priest at SummerSlam earlier this month. He earned the title shot by winning the King of the Ring tournament, ironically going over Orton in the finals.
GUNTHER is working the house show tour in Germany and making the media rounds ahead of the event. This included a stop for an interview with Bild. He was asked about his past comments about not wanting to move from Europe to the United States when he was still working in Europe and NXT UK.
He said, “But at some point, I couldn’t achieve anything more in Europe. It had to be done.”
GUNTHER has been with WWE since 2019, where he became the longest-reigning NXT UK Champion and Intercontinental Champion in history.
