Gunther on The Rock’s return

Gunther, ahead of WrestleMania 40 appeared for an interview with The Independent, where The Ring General spoke about The Rock’s return to WWE, while speaking about the highly anticipated night 1 main event tag team match.

Gunther said,

“Business is booming, people are really excited all over the world right now. We have The Rock back, he’s very committed right now. When you grow up watching wrestling, you love those moments of somebody making a return years after their big run, and that helps the big storyline of Cody and Roman.”

While Gunther spoke about Rock helping the storyline of Cody & Rock, The Austrian was asked about whether Cody deserves his crowning moment.

To which The Austrian said,

“Who am I to say who deserves what? Roman is in this position because he worked for it. What does he not deserve? It didn’t fall from the sky, he worked hard and went through a lot of struggles. But so did Cody. That’s the unfair thing of being in this business sometimes. There are a lot of people that deserve things, but very few get it in the end, so we’ll see how it plays out. Most importantly is that it’ll be exciting for the audience.”

The Ring General said,

“Sami is someone who is great at connecting with the audience. How he is as a person really translates well to what he is in the ring,” the Austrian said. “People really like that and I can see why. He and I, we couldn’t be bigger opposites. At the end of the day, that’s all good for him, but I’m focused on still being the Intercontinental Champion after that.”
