GUNTHER Doesn’t Believe His WWE UK Title Run Should Be Compared To Roman Reigns Current Run

GUNTHER doesn’t want to see fans comparing his NXT UK Title reign to Roman Reigns’ current Universal Title run.

Speaking with Steve Fall on Ten Count, the two lengthy reigns came up in the conversation, and Gunther explained why they’re not comparable. 

“Obviously I see that comparison a lot. I think it’s not comparable. I think it’s a very different situation. NXT UK compared to the main roster, obviously the competition is not on the same level. The frequency of shows is by far not on the same level, and I held it during the pandemic time. I would say I had a title reign where it was quality over quantity. I didn’t have that many matches, but the matches I had were entertaining and good, while Roman, he’s not there that often at the moment anymore, but before he was always present, traveling up and down the country, doing all those live events as the champion. So I think those two title reigns are not really comparable and I don’t compare [them],”

GUNTHER was also asked about a possible match with Roman in the future.

“Sooner or later, we don’t know, right. But I gotta be honest, right now I’m the intercontinental champion, and I couldn’t care less about anything else. He can do what he does, and whenever I fall, I can see what’s up [laughs],”

Gunther recently retained his Intercontinental title against Rey Mysterio on the November 4 episode of WWE SmackDown.
