Gunther, the Austrian wrestler, has been making waves in the WWE universe with his impressive performances, and it seems he’s just getting started. Fresh from his record-setting Intercontinental Championship reign, Gunther has now set his sights on the King of the Ring tournament, where he’s already made it to the final by defeating Jey Uso in the semifinals.
As he prepares to face either Randy Orton or Tama Tonga in the finals this Saturday night in Saudi Arabia, Gunther has his eyes firmly fixed on the ultimate prize – the world championship. In a recent interview with Alex McCarthy of Inside The Ropes, Gunther expressed his desire to challenge for the world championship at Bash in Berlin, an event that takes place in August after SummerSlam. The former Intercontinental Champion admitted that competing on his home turf would be a “very special moment.”
Gunther’s confidence stems from his recent successes, including his dominant performances in the King of the Ring tournament, where he’s already taken down Sheamus, Kofi Kingston, and Jey Uso. His impressive winning streak has earned him a reputation as a force to be reckoned with, and many fans are already tipping him to become a future main eventer.
While Gunther is excited about the prospect of competing at Bash in Berlin, he knows that he needs to win the King of the Ring tournament to put himself in the best position to challenge for the world championship. With three months to go before the event, Gunther is aware that there’s still a long way to go, but he’s determined to make the most of the opportunity.
Gunther’s enthusiasm for WWE’s recent business ventures in Europe is also palpable, with the company hosting several events across the continent. As he looks to add the King of the Ring crown to his list of accomplishments, Gunther is well on his way to becoming one of the top stars in the WWE.
