Gunther On Facing Damian Priest

In a recent interview with Cameron Hawkins of The Ringer , Gunther discussed his upcoming match against Damian Priest. He was asked about the challenge that faced him at WWE SummerSlam.

“Well, if I win it, it’s going to be the greatest accomplishment of my career,” Gunther proclaimed. “It means that’s what it says, the ‘world’s heavyweight champion.’ I think that’s the highest prize, the greatest prize that there is to achieve or to win.

“We all do [this] to become a champion eventually one day and be on top and represent the company and be the face of a brand and be the face of professional wrestling to a certain degree. And that’s a big responsibility but also [a] big privilege. But that’s all secondary now, because I have a match on Saturday against Damian Priest, and that’s where my focus is.”

WrestleZone will have coverage of WWE SummerSlam as it airs on August 3.
