Gunther comments on Damian Priest's run as WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
Damian Priest has been WWE World Heavyweight Champion since cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase and defeating Drew McIntyre at WWE WrestleMania XL Sunday. He's made successful defenses against Jey Uso, McIntyre, and Seth Rollins.
His next challenger will be Gunther at WWE SummerSlam.
Speaking on Gorilla Position, Gunther was asked to assess Priest's run as champion.
"I think he’s done a good job. I feel like, for everybody in that situation, it’s a big challenge. You look at the history of the World Heavyweight Championship so far, it was Seth Rollins, who held it for a very long time. But he was already a very established superstar before becoming World Heavyweight Champion. Drew had it for a few minutes, I don’t really count that now. Then Priest had to basically take it over, so I can only assume it was a big challenge for him, but I think he stood up to the challenge and carried himself in a very good way, I think. It’s not gonna last that match longer, to be honest," he said.
As of now, Gunther is a heavy favorite to defeat Priest at WWE SummerSlam according to BetOnline. Fans can learn more by clicking here.
