Gunther Reflects on Regaining Confidence After Survivor Series Victory – Gunther successfully defended his World Heavyweight Championship against Damian Priest at WWE Survivor Series, marking a critical moment in his reign since winning the title from Priest at SummerSlam. Despite his victory, Gunther’s recent journey has been marked by struggles with self-confidence, exacerbated by a high-profile loss to Cody Rhodes in Saudi Arabia earlier this year.
Priest, seeking to reclaim the championship, aimed to exploit Gunther’s vulnerabilities during their match. Although Priest fell short, the bout tested the champion’s resolve and mental fortitude.
When asked about the impact of his wavering confidence on the Survivor Series match, Gunther acknowledged the challenges he has faced since his loss to Rhodes.
“Well, I have to say, tonight was very important for me personally. I think the reason why I’m usually very successful is that I don’t get flabbergasted by this stuff. I stay very focused and rational.” Gunther said.
“But also, I give 100% of myself. That’s something that got a little bit off track when I lost to Cody. I’ve got to say, Priest has really developed into one of the most dangerous guys in WWE, and that timing was an issue.”
“To get mentally back on my feet again was definitely a challenge today. But yeah, tonight was important.” Gunther added.
As noted, WWE seems to be setting the stage for a major shift in Gunther’s character, with recent developments hinting at the possibility of a babyface turn for the dominant World Heavyweight Champion.
