WWE's rising star, Gunther, speaks out about his distinctive position in the company, setting himself apart from the reigning champions, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns.
In a recent interview with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, the WWE Intercontinental Champion, Gunther, addressed the comparisons drawn between his reign and that of Rollins and Reigns. Refraining from directly comparing himself to the two top-tier champions, Gunther acknowledged their distinct roles and challenges.
Regarding Seth Rollins and the challenge of holding a newly established title, Gunther acknowledged the complexity. He recognized Rollins' efforts in establishing and elevating the prestige of a new championship, commending his dedication in a difficult position.
Contrasting Rollins' scenario, Gunther spoke about Roman Reigns' lengthy championship tenure, emphasizing that Reigns' status permits infrequent title defenses, reserved for significant events, indicating a phase of the championship where frequent defenses are not necessary.
Expressing his unique journey, Gunther highlighted his role in establishing the Intercontinental Championship, a task distinct from Reigns and Rollins. He embraced the responsibility to solidify the championship's legacy, acknowledging that his situation demands different efforts compared to the established champions.
With patience as his virtue, Gunther emphasized the importance of a gradual career trajectory. He acknowledged that his achievements have been the result of a meticulous and gradual process, indicating his readiness to handle the responsibility bestowed upon him at this stage.
Gunther's approach reflects a commitment to steady growth rather than immediate results, positioning himself strategically for a significant role in WWE's landscape.
