Gunther Articles - Page 4

Ricochet is a certified WWE Superstar. Initially signing with the promotion in 2018 after successful stints in PWG, New Japan Pro Wrestling, and Dragon Gate, plus a run in Lucha Underground, where he wrestled under the Prince Puma moniker, Ricochet has wrestled almost 500 matches, formed multiple tag teams, and has even won a few […]

Monday Night RAW was a bit of a mixed bag for Imperium. On one hand, Gunther secured a massive, Premium Live Event-caliber match with Kevin Owens that could have main evented any card on any night in any promotion around the world, but his buddies, Ludwig Kaiser and Giovani Vinci, weren’t so lucky, as they […]

Throughout history, the WWE has produced several stars that we have come to love. In the past, we’ve seen titular clashes that went down as some of the greatest matches in WWE history. However, that doesn’t mean we got to see all the dream matches we wanted. For a variety of reasons, there are times […]

Is there a world where Mustafa Ali could defeat Gunther at Night of Champions? Sure; WWE has taken big swings with booking in the past, and while Ali wouldn’t be quite as popular as, say, Kofi Kingston or Big E, giving him a win in front of a Jeddah Superdome crowd that was clearly on […]

Mustafa Ali has been a member of the WWE Universe since all the way back in 2016, when he signed with the company after a 12-year run on the indies. Since arriving in The Fed, the former Prince has wrestled 342 matches, losing 185 of them, and has held a championship belt exactly zero times […]

With his spot on the Night of Champions card officially secured, Mustafa Ali was ready to discuss his forthcoming feud with GUNTHER has just how excited he was to take a shot at the Intercontinental Championship in Saudi Arabia with Byron Saxton on the go-home edition of RAW. … unfortunately, that conversation didn’t happen. No, […]

After securing a shocking victory over the field in a number one contender’s battle royal to decide on Gunther’s opponent at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia, Mustafa Ali was riding high, celebrating backstage on RAW before making his way over to The Bump on Wednesday to continue his one-man hype train. Sitting down virtually […]

After securing a shocking, come-from-behind win on RAW in the Battle Royal to decide on the next challenger for the Intercontinental Championship, Mustafa Ali was riding high, so much so, that he stopped by the backstage area for a WWE Digital Exclusive segment with Byron Saxton to let it all out. “Did you watch it? […]

After making his imposing debut on RAW – okay, technically his second match on RAW if you count the 4th of July in 2022 – Gunther found out who he will be wrestling at Night of Champions and, in an appearance on RAW Talk, he sent a message to Mustafa Ali as to what he […]

Though Matt Riddle wasn’t booked on the most recent edition of RAW, probably because WWE decided to book one entire half of the World Heavyweight Championship Tournament bracket on one night, “The Original Bro” was still hanging out in Jacksonville and decided to talk to Cathy Kelley on RAW Talk about all of the excitement […]

Gunther has been the Intercontinental Champion for over 330 days now, cementing himself as one of the greatest champions in the title’s history. For years, WWE has treated the Intercontinental Championship as just another title being passed around like a toy. The fans stopped caring about the title because it had lost most of its […]

When Ricochet and Braun Strowman started tag teaming together on SmackDown, it was unusual. Sure, WWE has thrown tag teams together in the past, and, weirdly enough, Ricochet and Strowman even sort of look similar with their long beards/no hair combos, but stylistically, the former is one of the most physically gifted high flyers in […]

After watching Paul “Triple H” Levesque announce the first four picks in the 2023 WWE Draft, with Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman, Solo Sikoa, and Bianca Belair heading to SmackDown and Cody Rhodes and Becky Lynch staying put on RAW, WWE took a page from the WWE’s playbook and brought in special guests to announce the […]

Heading into the final SmackDown before the WWE Draft, Xavier Woods was feeling pretty darn good about himself. He’d secured a major win over LA Knight on the previous edition, was booked for his first-ever shot at the Intercontinental Championship, and found himself three seconds away from earning his first-ever singles title as a member […]

After taking care of business on SmackDown in the first-ever Intercontinental Championship challenge of Xavier Woods’ career, Gunther was riding pretty darn high; his Intercontinental Championship had been successfully defended for the 10th time, Imperium came off as imposing as ever, and with the WWE draft rapidly approaching, the faction looked prime to hear their […]

After spending the better part of a week hyping himself and the rest of the WWE Universe up for his Intercontinental Championship match against Gunther, Xavier Woods found himself on the losing side of the bout when the referee hit the 1-2-3 and raised “The Ring General’s” hand after his 10th-straight successful title defense. Asked […]

After securing his most important singles win of the year so far in a SmackDown dub over “The Megastar” LA Knight, Xavier Woods was riding high, so much so that he decided to poke the bear, in this case, Imperium, with his trombone to effectively lay down the challenge for Gunther’s Intercontinental Championship. While didn’t […]

After backing up his words on Twitter with a surprising win over LA Knight on SmackDown, Xavier Woods was riding high, so much so that, when he saw Gunther conversing with the rest of Imperium in German backstage, he decided to interject with his instrument of choice: the trombone. “So you clearly want my attention,” […]

Brock Lesnar is coming off a massive win at WrestleMania over “The Nigerian Giant” Omos. The next night on Raw, Lesnar turned on his tag team partner Cody Rhodes in brutal fashion. He beat down Rhodes for nearly ten minutes and closed the show by giving him the middle fingers at the top of the […]

After watching the trio’s loss to Sheamus and the Brawling Brutes on SmackDown, Megan Morant of the SmackDown LowDown attempted to catch up with Gunther and the members of Imperium to discuss their opening segment letdown, but unsurprisingly, Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci weren’t too eager to breakdown their failures. “Do you know what would […]

After watching Day 2 of WrestleMania 39 play out almost exactly like he planned – one would assume Shane McMahon tearing his quad wasn’t on the card – Paul “Triple H” Levesque took to the podium at SoFi Stadium in order to discuss how each match shook out and give props to his WWE Superstars, […]

When Drew McIntyre, Sheamus, and Gunther took the ring at WrestleMania 39, fans knew they were in for a hard-hitting affair, but goodness, who knew just how physical an affair would be on display? Taking the ring third on a card of just six matches, Gunther opened up the match by offering McIntyre and Sheamus […]

When Drew McIntyre decided to challenge for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania, working through what felt like a half-dozen matches to earn his spot in the match opposite Gunther, it left many members of the WWE Universe confused, with none the more so than Sheamus, his then-tag team partner in the ill-named “Banger Bros.” Though […]

In the early lead-up to WrestleMania 39 there was one person and one person only who Gunther wanted to wrestle at “The Showcase of the Immortals:” Brock Lesnar. Gunther called him his “End Boss,” declared his long-time fandom of “The Beast Incarnate,” and basically attempted to crowd-fund a featured match at Mania against his preferred […]

As Rhea Ripley prepares for arguably the biggest match of her career, one would think she is totally and solely focused on securing the SmackDown Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 39, right? I mean, with the match all but certainly set to main event Night 1 of WrestleMania and the SmackDown title on the line, Ripley […]

As the WWE Universe rapidly prepares for WrestleMania 39, personalities of all roles, shapes, and sizes are being called upon for their takes on the biggest matches, their most anticipated moments, and their thoughts on Los Angeles, where the show’s two days are being booked. When Wade Barrett agreed to one such interview, speaking with […]

After officially signing his contract for WrestleMania 39 before demolishing his former NXT opponent, Butch, on SmackDown, Gunther caught up with Megan Morant of the SmackDown Lowdown to discuss Adam Pearce’s shoddy management of SmackDown over the past few weeks, and needless to say, he hasn’t been too pleased with how things are going. “Well […]

For the second week in a row, Drew McIntyre and Sheamus took part in a match with a spot in the Intercontinental Championship match opposite Gunther at Wrestlemania 39 on the line, and for a second, there wasn’t a clean winner at the end of the match. First came the end of the fatal five-way […]

Though technically a RAW wrestler, because Cody Rhodes is booked for a match with “The Tribal Chief,” Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39, WWE has been rather lax as to where “The American Nightmare” wrestles as of late, especially when it can help to move along a storyline. On Friday Night SmackDown, Rhodes made his way […]

When Sheamus hit Xavier Woods with the Brogue Kick at the end of a Fatal Fiveway to decide on GUNTHER’s next challenger for the Intercontinental Champion, he genuinely believed that he was heading to Hollywood for a choice spot at WrestleMania 39. He dropped down on the mat to hook Woods’ leg, heard the 1-2-3 […]

When Sheamus and Drew McIntyre entered the ring for the opening contest of SmackDown, both men had one thing and one thing only on their minds: winning the right to challenge GUNTHER for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 39. Now granted, it wasn’t going to come easy, as they had three other men, LA Knight, […]

Roman Reigns has been the face of WWE for years. He has held the Universal Championship for 900+ days and is closing in on one full year as Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. As historic as his reign has been, eventually, Reigns will lose his belts and step away from the ring for a while. After […]

Drew McIntyre hasn’t been a champion in WWE since February of 2021, or, as most of his fans would put it, is too darn long. He’s challenged for titles, mind you, the most prolific of which came at Clash at the Castle on his home Isle of Wales, but for as long as Roman Reigns […]

After successfully securing the win over Braun Strowman, Ricochet, and Madcap Moss in the opening segment of SmackDown, GUNTHER, Ludwig Kaiser, and Giovanni Vinci of Imperium accepted an interview with Megan Morant on the SmackDown LowDown to discuss their win and Drew McIntyre’s decision to come down to the ring to check out the competition. […]

After besting Madcap Moss on SmackDown, GUNTHER made his way over to The Bump to talk all things WWE alongside his Imperium buddies, Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci. Asked about how he feels about Roman Reigns’ run atop the promotion, even “The Ring General” couldn’t make light of “The Tribal Chief’s” accomplishments. “I mean, it’s […]

We are now officially just a little over a month away from WrestleMania 39 in Hollywood. With this being Triple H’s first WrestleMania as head of creative for WWE, it’s shaping up to be one of the most memorable events in recent history. Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship is […]

As the Intercontinental Championship match between GUNTHER and Madcap Moss trucked along, the Montreal crowd got antsy. Mind you, they seemed to appreciate the match just fine, but as the arrival of hometown hero Sami Zayn neared, some took it upon themselves to play off the penultimate segment with cheers of “Ole!” Discussing the match […]

Though WrestleMania 39 is more than a month away, Cody Rhodes has already turned his eyes to the future to a degree and has discussed, at least a little bit, some of the matches he’d like to work on once he becomes the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. One of those feuds is against GUNTHER, the […]

The WWE is filled with many young up-and-coming talents with a bright future ahead of them. There are some superstars who you know will become world champions one day. At the same time, some superstars need a little more work before being thrown into the main event scene. With Triple H in charge of creative, […]
