Gunther heaps high praise on The Miz.
During Gunther's record breaking 666 day reign as WWE Intercontinental Champion, he faced off with opponents of all shapes and sizes. One of the more story heavy rivalries that Gunther had during this reign was The Miz, who Gunther defended his title against in November and December of last year.
While speaking to The Ringer's Cameron Hawkins in a recent interview, Gunther discussed getting to work with The Miz, noting that the rivalry was very important for him.
“I would say the matches I had with Miz were something that was very important for me. Miz is the total opposite of me. It’s 100 percent the other side of professional wrestling than I am. I was really proud of the matches we had to get to those really competitive, dramatic matches. … The people ate it up. They were there for it.”
Gunther continued, going on to note that The Miz is possibly the most versatile talent WWE have on their roster today.
“Miz was a fantastic counterpart because he’s one of the best in doing that ever on the microphone. He’s maybe the most versatile talent the company has. That was a big challenge for me.”
Gunther is currently scheduled to take on World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest at SummerSlam later tonight.
Elsewhere in the same interview, Gunther revealed that he never thought he would make it to the WWE main roster. You can read more about that here.
