Gunther Hopes WWE Is Interested In Booking Him Against Brock Lesnar In The UK

Gunther has publicly pushed for WWE to book him in a match against Brock Lesnar for the past few years. 

They squared off in the middle of the men’s Royal Rumble bout this year, a moment that backed up his belief that the fans were interested in the match. 

Gunther talked about the moment on My Love Letter to Wrestling with Mark Andrews.

“That moment with Brock was all I needed. I don’t think we needed to have lots of action going on with him, get into a little scuffle and stuff, just the moment and the crowd reaction for that, it was all I needed. Just see how people…on the internet, you read stuff and people get easily excited, but often, the hype from online doesn’t translate to the venue. When that happened, I was like, compared to the US, especially in England, people understand competition. They tend to look at the match and take it as a competition and then emotionally react to it, rather than expecting the fireworks right away.”

Andrews followed up by asking whether Triple H might have an interest in booking a match in the UK between Lesnar and Gunther as WWE holds this year’s Money in the Bank in London. 

“I hope. The thing is, who knows. We had great success as Clash at the Castle, and now coming back with Money in the Bank, I’m hoping this is something that becomes a tradition where they venture out to Europe for the big events. The response is great and we get the chance more often.”
