Gunther intends to prove that he's the top champion in WWE.
In recent months, Gunther and Cody Rhodes have established themselves as the top champions in WWE. Rhodes, the Undisputed WWE Champion, and Gunther, the World Heavyweight Champion, will face each other at WWE Crown Jewel, and the winner will be crowned the WWE Crown Jewel Champion.
Speaking on WWE La Previa, Gunther was asked to comment on what set him apart from Rhodes.
"I think I’m a little bit more honest because I can say I do this for myself. My success is the most important thing to me. Cody is someone, he always does this for somebody else, and he finishes the story for his dad, and he does this, and it’s for somebody else. He just really forces the attention to him, and I think that makes me a more confident champion than him because I don’t need that, I don’t need that backup. I’m not interested in it, and I think that’s a big difference. I think it’s a little bit two worlds colliding," Gunther said.
Gunther was also asked to comment on what he was willing to prove that he’s the top champion in WWE. He stated that he would do what he always did by being the best in the ring. Gunther vowed to show that Rhodes was the secondary champion to him.
“I just have to do what I always do, be the best in that ring, dominate that match, set the pace, and [I] will make clear that Cody truly is the secondary champion to me. I’m already setting the standard on Monday Night Raw, and I’m gonna prove that I’m the one that sets the standard in all of WWE. That's what I’m focused on now, making Cody understand, show him that he’s secondary to me," Gunther said.
During the interview, Gunther commented on his confrontation with Goldberg. Check out his comments here.
