Gunther enjoyed sitting back and watching the drama unfold.
Gunther won the King of the Ring tournament at WWE King and Queen of the Ring to earn a shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WWE SummerSlam. Over the next several weeks, he did not appear regularly on WWE programming. Ahead of WWE Money in the Bank, he appeared in some vignettes, but his presence was otherwise limited.
Speaking on Gorilla Position, Gunther was asked about not appearing often on WWE TV lately and whether there was a creative reason for it or if it was just a sense of "less is more."
“Overall, I’m a big fan of less is more. I think it’s a rule that applies in most occasions in life. I think in general, it makes sense right now. After I won the King of the Ring, it was clear I will be challenging for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam. To be fair, there was not really a need to be involved that much before Money in the Bank. I had the luxury of leaning back for a few weeks and just looking at the things that happened and looking at all the drama that went on with the Judgment Day and Seth being back and all the chaos with Punk and Drew. It was amusing to watch, I have to say, and I enjoyed it," Gunther said.
