GUNTHER Chooses Brock Lesnar Over Roman Reigns As Dream Opponent

In a recent appearance on the “WrestleBinge” podcast, WWE Intercontinental Champion GUNTHER named his dream opponent he wishes to face in the ring.

GUNTHER placed Brock Lesnar at the head of the line for himself, noting that talents like Roman Reigns aren’t quite a priority for him.

You can check out some highlights from the interview below:

On the differences between his process of development and that of Roman Reigns: “I wouldn’t consider Roman as a dream opponent. I think we’re two … completely different wrestlers. He’s obviously somebody that came up through, first of all, his family history. But then he … trained in the WWE system, and got brought up through that. I think he’s a picture-perfect example of how WWE can take someone and turn them into an absolute superstar.”

On Reigns’ accomplishments in the industry: “What he has achieved is absolutely incredible. The aura he has, and the reaction he gets when he steps foot in an arena, is almost like never seen before. So that makes it very interesting for me — yeah, at some point, if the chance arises to see … who would come out of this as the winner.”

On why he finds a Gunther vs. Lesnar match more compelling: “He’s definitely somebody I looked up to. I always admired him for how he handles himself and his business and stuff. For me personally, I think he’s my biggest obstacle at some point in my career. So if there’s a chance that this happens, I would love to do that, of course.”
