Finn Balor praises Gunther.
Gunther is widely praised by peers and critics as being one of the best wrestlers in the world, and WWE has put him on a pedestal as the longest-reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion ever and the reigning WWE King of the Ring.
Speaking on What's The Story, Balor is one of the latest superstars to explain why Gunther is a special performer.
"WALTER/Gunther, in my opinion, is probably the best performer on earth right now. In my opinion. To watch him in the ring. I get so oversaturated, seeing so much stuff, 'I just can't be arsed watching this.' I've not seen it all, but I've seen so much. I've been watching wrestling for 35 years. It's rare that I go, 'I'm interested in this.' When WALTER gets in the ring, I'm interested. I want to see everything that he does. There is no bits where I'm like, 'I know what he's going to do here for the next five minutes.' That's one of the few matches that I haven't had in my career that I really want to have. We tried to set it up right before COVID, we were trying to set it up in NXT UK, but the world had a different plan for us. We went a different way. Now we're both heels, I'm not sure how it's going to work out. I have expressed my opinion to the office that I would love to get that match in the future. Fingers crossed," said Balor.
Balor said that they have another five years to get it done, referencing the length of his newly signed WWE deal.
Gunther is headed towards a showdown with Damian Priest, a member of the Judgment Day alongside Balor, at WWE SummerSlam.
