WWE Intercontinental Champion GUNTHER recently sat down with Fightful to discuss his experiences since joining the main roster after working in NXT and NXT UK. In the interview conducted ahead of SummerSlam 2023, GUNTHER shared his thoughts on the differences he has encountered in terms of travel and the fast-paced nature of the main roster.
GUNTHER explained that while the travel aspect was familiar to him, it was on a much larger scale in the United States. He compared flying in the US to driving a bus, stating that it was way more complicated than he had anticipated. Coming from Europe, where flying still carries a sense of luxury, GUNTHER found it normal to rack up countless miles on airplanes within the past year. He admitted that the sheer volume of travel was absolutely crazy and surpassed anything he had experienced in his entire life before joining the main roster.
Furthermore, GUNTHER highlighted the speed at which things happen on the main roster. He mentioned the numerous tasks and challenges that arise throughout the day, which require quick thinking and improvisation to get the job done. Despite the challenges, GUNTHER expressed that he sees this as a great learning process and finds joy in the journey of making these experiences.
GUNTHER’s insights into his transition from NXT to the main roster provide a glimpse into the realities of being a professional wrestler at the highest level. The demands of constant travel and the need to adapt quickly to various situations are just some of the factors that come into play for WWE Superstars.
As the Intercontinental Champion, GUNTHER has proven himself to be a formidable competitor in the ring. His time in NXT and NXT UK has undoubtedly prepared him for the challenges he now faces on the main roster. Fans can expect to see GUNTHER continue to showcase his skills and adaptability as he defends his championship against top contenders.
