Gunther has shared his thoughts on whether Cody Rhodes should wrap up his WWE story at WrestleMania 40.
The American Nightmare’s return to the company in 2022 aimed to achieve what his father Dusty Rhodes couldn’t: winning the WWE Championship.
While Cody Rhodes fell short of this goal at last year’s WrestleMania, he has another shot at history against Roman Reigns this Sunday.

In a recent interview with The Independent, Gunther weighed in on the matter, emphasizing it’s not his place to decide Rhodes’ fate. He acknowledged Roman Reigns’ hard work and expressed intrigue in seeing how events unfold.
“Who am I to say who deserves what? Roman is in this position because he worked for it. What does he not deserve? It didn’t fall from the sky, he worked hard and went through a lot of struggles. But so did Cody. That’s the unfair thing of being in this business sometimes. There are a lot of people that deserve things, but very few get it in the end, so we’ll see how it plays out. Most important is that it’ll be exciting for the audience,”
Gunther stated.
Gunther is also gearing up to defend his Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 40 against Sami Zayn.
Acknowledging Zayn’s popularity, Gunther expressed confidence in retaining his title.
“Sami is someone who is great at connecting with the audience. How he is as a person really translates well to what he is in the ring. People really like that and I can see why. He and I, we couldn’t be bigger opposites. At the end of the day, that’s all good for him, but I’m focused on still being the Intercontinental Champion after that,”
he added.
With Gunther set to enter WrestleMania 40 as the reigning Intercontinental Champion for the second consecutive year, fans eagerly anticipate whether he’ll emerge victorious once again.
