WWE Star Gunther Explains Recent TV Absence

One big thing: Gunther embraces “less is more” approach

Former Intercontinental Champion Gunther has addressed his recent absence from WWE television, following his King of the Ring victory in May.

Why it matters

Gunther’s absence and strategic approach to TV appearances could impact his momentum heading into his World Heavyweight Championship match at SummerSlam against Damian Priest.

By the numbers

• Gunther won the 2024 King of the Ring tournament in May
• He has been absent from regular WWE Raw appearances since his victory
• His next major appearance will be at SummerSlam in Cleveland

What they’re saying

Gunther told Gorilla Position:
• “Overall, I’m a big fan of less is more. I think it’s a rule that applies in most occasions in life.”
• “After I won the King of the Ring, it was clear I will be challenging for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam. To be fair, there was not really a need to be involved that much before Money in the Bank.”

The big picture

Gunther’s strategic absence allows him to:
• Build anticipation for his return
• Observe the ongoing storylines without direct involvement
• Potentially make a bigger impact when he does appear

What’s next

All eyes will be on Gunther as he prepares for his World Heavyweight Championship match against Damian Priest at SummerSlam in Cleveland.
