On a recent edition of the “After the Bell” podcast, WWE broadcaster Corey Graves stated that reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion GUNTHER could potentially become a fan favorite by Royal Rumble next year.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On GUNTHER: “By the time the Royal Rumble rolls around, GUNTHER will be a fan favorite and wildly popular amongst the WWE Universe without changing a damn thing about what he does.”
On the magic of GUNTHER: “That’s the magic of GUNTHER; he’s just good. It’s not dissimilar to back in the day when Mr. Perfect was around in WWE. Mr. Perfect was this guy who was telling you, ‘I’m not good, I’m perfect,’ and if you met that human being or your buddy or anybody you know said that, ‘No, I’m perfect,’ you would want to slap the taste out of their mouth. But when Curt Hennig got in the ring from bell to bell, whether it was against Roddy Piper or Bret Hart, or insert classic match here, people started going, ‘He might be perfect, and I may not want to buy his t-shirt, but God, I’m never going to miss anything he does in the ring.’”
At Royal Rumble 2023, GUNTHER entered the match at #1 and lasted until the end before getting eliminated by Cody Rhodes.
