GUNTHER Praises WWE NXT UK Run For Allowing Himself To Grow

Prior to being called up to the main roster, GUNTHER was featured on the WWE NXT brand.

Speaking on a recent edition of the “Kick Rocks” podcast, the reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion commented on his run in WWE NXT, working with Ilja Dragunov, and more.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On his NXT UK run: “I think it was a good time for me to figure out myself even more and grow into myself.”

On his match with Ilja Dragunov in NXT UK: “I think that match with Ilja I had, the first one, I’m not sure if it would’ve gotten that popular if it didn’t happen in an empty arena without any background noise and the noise that audience makes. I think the surroundings of that match made it that much special.”

On being able to develop on the brand: “That was a very important time for me, personally to develop myself even more. I think there was a time then after that where I felt like I outgrew it a little bit then it took a little bit until I arrived on the main roster and since then I’m continuing what I did before.”
