GUNTHER recently appeared as a guest on the After The Bell With Corey Graves podcast for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During the discussion, the WWE Intercontinental Champion spoke about his Royal Rumble showdown with Brock Lesnar, a potential future match against Cody Rhodes and more.
Featured below are some of the highlights.
On his Royal Rumble showdown with Brock Lesnar: “That’s a matchup I definitely want to have at some point in my career. Obviously, there was a lot of talk about it going on, especially online, but sometimes what is the thing online doesn’t translate to the live reaction. So I think that little moment I had with him there, that was all I needed right now because that was just the real life confirmation that it makes sense, that people are up for this. I was really happy with how everything went down. I said that before like people portrayed me as some sort of end boss character sometimes. If I have one end boss, I think Brock is the one. So let’s see If everything aligns at some point and it’s just gonna happen.”
On a future singles match with Cody Rhodes after the two were the final two in the Royal Rumble: “When I knew that scenario would go down with me and Cody at the end (of the Royal Rumble), I knew well, the guy was out for a little bit. Since then I was able to work my way up, and I was like, Okay, I have to introduce him to the new reality over here. That was kind of like my attitude going into that. Yeah, obviously that was just a taste I think for everybody. I think Cody is one of those guys where that’s the perfect match for me, the perfect opposite, if that makes sense. I think the match is right there whenever it needs to happen. If it would happen in Europe, obviously that would be fantastic.”
