During a recent edition of Cody Rhodes’ What Do You Wanna Talk About? podcast, Gunther mentioned that he wanted to get to a spot in WWE where he can elevate young stars like Oba Femi, Bron Breakker, and Ilja Dragunov.

The Ring General then added that he liked his current role in the company and didn’t want to become a guy who is “at the very mountaintop” where everybody looks up to him.

“I like my role and how I do it. I don’t have it in me to be wanting to be the guy that is at the very mountaintop, and everybody looks up to him,” he said.

The former Imperium leader then broke his on-screen character to praise Cody Rhodes for his work ethic. He mentioned that he admired Rhodes and believed he wouldn’t be able to do as many media and fan interactions as The American Nightmare.

“I admire you [Cody Rhodes] sometimes for what you do, because I couldn’t. I would not be able to have that much fan interaction, to have that much media interaction, and all of that. And you do it really good. That’s not for me… I wanna be at the top, but in a different role and contribute that way,” he added.

Gunther opened up about losing to Jey Uso at WWE WrestleMania 41

During the same interview on Cody Rhodes’ What Do You Wanna Talk About? podcast, Gunther talked about tapping out to Jey Uso in his WWE World Heavyweight Championship loss at WrestleMania 41.

The Ring General said that he had no issues with tapping out to The Yeet Master, and he didn’t care if the fans saw it as a weakness.

“With Jey, at that moment, that’s the thing, I can swallow my pride. When it’s over, it’s over. I have no issue with that. If the audience views that as weakness, let them be. It’s alright,” Gunther said.

It remains to be seen what the Triple H-led creative team has planned for Gunther ahead of WWE WrestleMania 42.
