Gunther wants a match with Brock Lesnar in the UK.
During the 2023 Royal Rumble match, Gunther and Brock Lesnar came face to face for the first time, having a brief exchange in the match before Lesnar was dumped out of the match by Bobby Lashley.
Gunther recently spoke on My Love Letter to Wrestling with Mark Andrews, and was asked about his moment with Lesnar. Gunther went on to say that he hopes the pair can duke it out in the UK in the future.
“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.”
“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.”
