Gunther recently shared his thoughts on the impact of his first loss since his move. The loss came as a surprise to many fans on the August 21st edition of RAW, where Gunther faced Chad Gable in a non-title match.

The loss to Gable marked a significant moment for Gunther, as it was his first defeat since transitioning to the main roster in April 2022. Prior to this, his main roster record had been remarkably strong, with his only prior losses occurring during a one-off appearance on the November 8th, 2019 episode of RAW, and as part of the losing Team NXT in the Men’s Survivor Series match at the namesake event in 2019.

Gunther proud of his championship reign

In a recent interview with Jeff Synder, Gunther discussed how his recent loss is affecting him and his current championship reign. Despite the setback, Gunther expressed pride in his Intercontinental Championship reign, highlighting how quickly he managed to secure the title after moving to the main roster.

Gunther emphasized the significance of his championship reign, stating, “Ever since I came to the main roster, it didn’t take too long until I got my hands on the Intercontinental Championship. Since then, I can leave my own mark and legacy on the title and in the same process, building my own legacy.”

One of the key aspects of Gunther’s success has been his unique in-ring style and persona. He reaffirmed his commitment to staying true to himself and continuing to express himself in the ring just as he always has. This approach, he believes, is what has set him apart and brought him success.

Gunther acknowledged the nature of wins and losses in professional wrestling, recognizing that they hold a different weight compared to other sports. However, he underlined the importance of securing victories, particularly in his situation as Intercontinental Champion.

In conclusion, despite experiencing his first loss on the main roster, Gunther remains steadfast in his determination to make a lasting impact and build his legacy as the Intercontinental Champion.
