GUNTHER wants to fight Brock Lesnar over Roman Reigns
When it comes to the “final bosses” of WWE, there is one name that stands out in the modern era – Roman Reigns. However, WWE Intercontinental Champion GUNTHER doesn’t see Reigns as his dream opponent. In a recent interview with Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, GUNTHER expressed his views on the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
GUNTHER chooses Brock Lesnar as his “dream opponent”
According to GUNTHER, he and Reigns are two completely different wrestlers with distinct backgrounds. Reigns emerged from a rich wrestling lineage and was trained within the WWE system, ultimately becoming a picture-perfect example of how WWE can mold someone into a superstar. On the other hand, GUNTHER, like many other Europeans, had to build himself up in his wrestling journey. While he acknowledges Reigns’ incredible achievements and the aura he carries when stepping into the arena, GUNTHER doesn’t see him as his top choice for a dream opponent:
“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 Brock Lesnar:
“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.”
GUNTHER praised Reigns for what he has accomplished in WWE and remains open to the possibility of facing him in the future, eager to see who would emerge victorious in such a clash.
However, there is another WWE star that GUNTHER hopes to face in the more immediate future – Brock Lesnar. GUNTHER revealed that Lesnar is a dream match for him, admiring how “The Beast Incarnate” conducts himself and conducts his business. For GUNTHER, Lesnar represents the biggest obstacle in his career, and he would love the chance to compete against him.
Currently holding the Intercontinental Championship since June 10, 2022, when he defeated Ricochet on “WWE SmackDown,” GUNTHER is on a hot streak, dominating opponents such as Sami Zayn, Rey Mysterio, Braun Strowman, Drew McIntyre, and Sheamus.
Lesnar, on the other hand, is preparing for his third bout against Cody Rhodes, scheduled for WWE SummerSlam on August 5. Regardless of the outcome of his feud with Rhodes, it appears that GUNTHER has his sights set on a potential clash with Lesnar in the near future.
