Gunther really enjoyed working with Kevin Owens.
Recently, Kevin Owens has been taking it to Intercontinental Champion Gunther as of late in both singles and tag team competition.
Speaking to Steve Fall of WrestlingNewsCo, Gunther spoke about his in-ring chemistry with the tag team champion.
“He seems to have some temper issues for some reason,” says Gunther on Kevin Owens. “I don’t know exactly what’s going on there. Overall, though, to get in the ring and have a singles match with him was really good. I think the energy he brings to the ring is a very good match for the energy I bring to the ring. It’s a very good contrast. I think if you visually look at us, people can really relate with someone standing up to a bully and not taking anything from him. I think that’s why people connected with that match and story in a very authentic way. Besides all of that, he’s been here for so long and has achieved a lot of great things. I really enjoyed being in the ring with him. He’s very intense. Very physical, as well. I like when my matches are — I’m not a believer that matches need to be crisp and beautiful all the time. The best matches are quite scrappy, if that makes sense? If it’s not beautiful, if it’s intense and brutal and very physical, I think that’s what people can relate to the most. I think that’s why we got the reaction to it we got.”

Gunther is looking to become the longest reigning Intercontinental Champion, something he is very aware of the prestige regarding the record currently held by the Honky Tonk Man.
