Gunther hits big WWE milestone amid underwhelming reign as ahampion

Gunther faces a challenging week following his limited participation in the first WWE RAW broadcast on Netflix. The current World Heavyweight Champion appeared only in a pre-recorded segment, while Cody Rhodes, Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, delivered a backstage promo during the show.

The situation has raised questions about the treatment of the RAW champion. With Gunther currently out of the storyline involving the Bloodline, WWE is finding it difficult to include him in as many storylines as Rhodes.

Gunther celebrates important milestone in his career

Amidst recent challenges, Gunther is celebrating a special moment this weekend: the anniversary of his debut in WWE. On January 12, 2019, he made his first appearance at NXT TakeOver “Blackpool.”

At the time, still known as WALTER, he faced off against Pete Dunne, who was then the NXT United Kingdom Champion. The encounter sparked a rivalry that lasted three months, culminating in Gunther capturing the NXT United Kingdom Championship.

Gunther’s journey in WWE continues to develop, even with the current challenges in his exposure on WWE RAW.
