Gunther on Potentially Facing Bron Breakker at WrestleMania 40 – In an interview on the Battleground Podcast, Gunther shared his thoughts on Bron Breakker’s recent call-up to the WWE main roster and their encounter in the 2024 WWE Royal Rumble Match. Gunther praised Breakker for his aggressive approach in targeting him during the Royal Rumble, recognizing it as a strategic move to make a statement and establish himself in the WWE.
Reflecting on their interaction in the Royal Rumble, Gunther admitted that he respected Breakker’s determination and understood the competitive nature of their brief encounter. As someone who has fought his way to the top, Gunther acknowledged Breakker’s drive to carve out his own path in the WWE.
When asked about the possibility of facing Breakker at WWE WrestleMania, Gunther remained open to the idea, expressing his willingness to compete against anyone who proves themselves worthy of the challenge. He recognized Breakker as a formidable competitor and emphasized that he would be ready to step into the ring with him if the opportunity arose.
“I mean, good on him. I would have done the same. First of all, it was his big first appearance on the main roster, and as he should, he made the most out of it. He went in there with all this energy and all the power he has, and I think just athletically, he’s somebody that’s superior over a lot of the guys on the main roster. But that was the Royal Rumble, he was in there for a few minutes. It’s gonna show if he can uphold it in a one-on-one situation,” said Gunther.
Gunther then went on to say that should Breakker somehow be the person that was to challenge him for the WWE Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 40, he would feel confident that his experience edge over the young second-generation performer would be a deciding factor in the match. However, he does say that he would be excited about the challenge and believes the match would be equally exciting.
“If I would face him at WrestleMania, I would be confident because my advantage towards him is an almost 20-year career, and he’s still very young and inexperienced at that. I think he has all the potential in the world. If he’s the one for WrestleMania, I’m here to take on the challenge, and I think it’s gonna be a very exciting match.”
Breakker does hold a victory over Gunther. He successfully defended the NXT Championship over “The Ring General” on the April 5, 2022 episode of WWE NXT. That would be Gunther’s last match in NXT before being called up to WWE SmackDown later that same week.
