GUNTHER Addresses His Earlier Hesitations About Moving from Europe to the US

GUNTHER is set for a high-stakes title defense this Saturday at the Bash in Berlin Premium Live Event, where he will put his newly won WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line against Randy Orton. This match comes just weeks after GUNTHER captured the title from Damian Priest at SummerSlam, earning his shot by winning the King of the Ring tournament—a victory that saw him triumph over Orton in the finals.

In the lead-up to this crucial match, GUNTHER has been actively participating in WWE’s house show tour across Germany, where he has been a major draw for the European fanbase. Additionally, GUNTHER has been making media appearances, including an interview with Bild, where he reflected on his journey from Europe to the United States.

Addressing his previous reluctance to move to the U.S. when he was still wrestling in Europe and NXT UK, GUNTHER acknowledged the necessity of the move for his career. “But at some point, I couldn’t achieve anything more in Europe. It had to be done,” he explained, indicating that his ambition and desire for growth eventually led him to embrace the transition.

Since joining WWE in 2019, GUNTHER has made an indelible mark on the company, becoming the longest-reigning NXT UK Champion and later achieving a historic reign as the Intercontinental Champion. His dominance in the ring and his connection with fans across the globe have solidified his status as one of WWE’s top competitors.

As he prepares to defend his title against the legendary Randy Orton at Bash in Berlin, all eyes will be on whether GUNTHER can continue his reign of dominance or if Orton will reclaim the gold in what promises to be a hard-hitting and memorable showdown.
