GUNTHER has become a top star for WWE in recent years, finding success in every WWE brand he’s been part of, from NXT UK to NXT and the main roster. In recent years, GUNTHER has had long reigns as Intercontinental and World Heavyweight Champion.
While speaking on the Ariel Helwani Show, GUNTHER praised working under Triple H and credited him with helping save pro wrestling.
“Obviously, he’s my boss and I’m in a very good position at the company right now, but I think, to a certain degree, that he saved professional wrestling, to a big degree, I think because I remember when I started in 2005, and all the Europeans that tried to get into WWE. There was such a mystery about it, like who to talk to and what to do. It seemed so far away, such an unrealistic point to achieve. Hunter was the one that pushed for opening the world to WWE and created so many jobs and opportunities back then for so many of the guys, like for us, for all the European guys.”
He continued, “He opened the floodgates for the wrestling world outside of WWE, and since then, the change has been very positive. I think that was a big achievement, to be honest, because the business changed since then and it changed to the better.”
GUNTHER is slated to defend the World Title against Jey Uso at WrestleMania 41.
