Speaking with Shakiel Mahjouri, Gunther detailed what it would mean for him to reach the mountaintop by defeating Priest at WWE SummerSlam.

"It'd be the biggest achievement of my career," Gunther said. "I think that's quite obvious. It's the world's heavyweight champion. It's the biggest prize there is to win in this sport. That would be a huge accomplishment but also a big responsibility and challenge. That's what I'm here for. I want to be in the mix with the best and in the ring with all of them. To prove myself in that regard."
