As the anticipation builds for WWE WrestleMania XL, Gunther braces himself for what promises to be a challenging battle on the grand stage.
The Intercontinental Champion, known as The Ring General, recently shared his candid thoughts on his upcoming opponent for the prestigious event.
Having dominated the mid-card scene and successfully defended his Intercontinental Championship against formidable opponents like The Miz, Drew McIntyre, and Sheamus, Gunther has established himself as a force to be reckoned with.
In a conversation with talkSPORT, Gunther momentarily stepped out of character to commend his rival Sami Zayn, shedding light on Zayn’s work ethic and genuine nature both inside and outside the ring.
“He works hard, obviously. You can’t deny that, and I think that’s why he connects really well with the audience,” Gunther acknowledged. “What people see in the ring is what you get in real life and when you interact with him backstage.”
Gunther highlighted Zayn’s unwavering commitment to advocating for what he believes is right, a trait that resonates with many and sets him apart from his peers.
“He’s loud about his opinions and ideas and won’t back down or take a ‘no’ and pushes for what he thinks is the right thing,” Gunther praised. “That’s an attribute a lot of people can connect with because it’s a kind-hearted thing and comes from a good place.”
As Gunther and Sami Zayn prepare to clash for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania XL, speculation mounts about the potential outcome of their showdown.
While Gunther acknowledges Zayn’s past achievements, he remains steadfast in his belief in his own superiority within the WWE hierarchy.
Reflecting on his journey in WWE compared to Zayn’s, Gunther emphasized that success in the wrestling business is not solely about righteousness or kindness but about seizing opportunities and achieving greatness.
“While Sami may embody certain admirable qualities, this industry isn’t about charity or fighting for righteousness—it’s about success,” Gunther asserted. “And that’s precisely where my focus lies.”
With the stage set for a blockbuster contest between two of WWE’s top talents, fans eagerly anticipate a show-stealing encounter at The Show of Shows.
