Gunther has named Axiom as the best technical wrestler on the WWE main roster and reflected on what it means to be known as “The Career Killer” ahead of his Undisputed Championship match against Cody Rhodes at Clash in Italy.
Speaking to Netflix Italia, Gunther praised Axiom while acknowledging the NXT tag team star has not had the opportunity to fully showcase his abilities.
“I don’t think he has the chance to show it a lot at the moment, but I think Axiom actually is the best technical wrestler on the main roster right now. He’s in a tag team, he’s doing different kind of matches right now, but when he gets the chance to show his skills, I think he’s by far the best technical wrestler we have.”
On being the man who ended the careers of John Cena, Goldberg, and AJ Styles, Gunther described the experience as surreal before snapping back into professional mode.
“It feels fantastic. You’ve got to put yourself in my shoes, when I was a teenager I played video games with those characters, then I find myself in the last match of those guys like John Cena and Goldberg, AJ I obviously started following later. It’s surreal for a moment, but you kick out of it quickly, you’ve got to be focused in the moment, but it’s great to be the one that can claim I sent them away, it was time to go. I decided when it was time to go.”
Gunther challenges Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at Clash in Italy on May 31 at Inalpi Arena in Turin.
