The current WWE Intercontinental Champion Gunther is one of the biggest projects of WWE who is definitely a future World champion of the promotion. He has presented some amazing matches since joining WWE and he is a top star of the promotion today. He is undefeated in WWE since joining the main roster last year after WrestleMania 38.
Just a quick reminder that he is only a month away from breaking the record of the Honky Tonk Man who is still the longest reigning Intercontinental champion in WWE history. Gunther never lost a single match after joining the main roster and he has a defeated every single wrestler who has challenged him for his title so far.
Behind the Scenes: Gunther’s Insider Account of Wrestling in the UK and WrestleMania London
The Ring General has worked in the recent UK based PPV events of WWE and in both shows he was excellent. Especially at Clash at the Castle that took place at Cardiff where he presented a five star quality match along with Sheamus. The current Intercontinental Champion recently spoke to The Daily Mail where he talked about his experience on working in UK recently;
On his experience at Money in the Bank: “It was fantastic. I’ve had many great experiences and matches throughout my career in England, and London specifically, and it was the first time we got to do a PLE at the O2 – which is a great building. I always love the fan interaction during the matches in England because it’s just different. It’s more based on the football chants, and I really enjoyed it, it was a great experience.”

On the possibility of WWE shows in the rest of Europe: “Definitely. As of right now I think the chance is there, too. I have to judge from my gut feeling but the chances are high. The traction from Austria and Germany is big, the shows are in a great TV spots, with so many people watching again. It feels like in Europe that wrestling is like it was in the 90s, when everybody was watching. So, maybe we can capitalise on that and bring a PLE to Europe that’s outside of England as well. France and Germany would be two realistic candidates for that.”
On WrestleMania potentially taking place in London: “I could totally see that. I think Clash at the Castle proved that selling out those huge stadiums is not a huge deal for WWE at the moment. The people want to experience it, so if they get the logistics done and everything else that comes with that because it could be a little bit tricky to run Europe, I really hope its something they go for.”
Last Saturday at SummerSlam, Gunther faced Drew McIntyre who challenged him for his Intercontinental Championship. The Ring General managed to defeat the Scottish Warrior for the second time to retain his title. It is still not confirmed whom he would face next to defend his title. He is also rumour to win the Royal Rumble match of 2024 and go on to challenge for The World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40.
