Gunther is one of the prospects of WWE right now, and presently he stands as a two times World Heavyweight Champion. He had been extremely impressive ever since joining WWE, and before making his main roster debut in 2022, he spent an amazing time in the developmental territories of WWE. He is still recognised as the longest and best NXT UK Champion ever.
Soon after making his main roster debut in 2022, he won the WWE Intercontinental Championship, and he created history as he became the longest reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion in history Breaking the record previously set by The Honky Tonk Man. It was just the beginning of his ultimate success as he won the World Heavyweight Championship in the same year.

Gunther won the tournament and challenged John Cena in his farewell match on December 13 at Saturday Night's Main Event. He made John Cena tap out in his farewell match, and it was the first time in 21 years that he tapped out. He is considered one of the best in ring workers in WWE right now. But he had concerns previously about whether his wrestling style would work in WWE. Speaking on “The Masked Man Show,” he stated the following;
“Oh yes, I did and that’s why I didn’t sign with them for a bit before I actually went. It was definitely a fault. I never saw myself in WWE. I always thought I would, ‘Yeah, if things go well, I’ll work in Japan, and that’s my jam and that’s where I fit.’ That never happened really.

"And yeah, now we are here. So it shows it’s hard to predict. You should never like cancel anything out in your life when it comes to possibilities and stuff like that. And I never expected it to fit that well as it does, but here we are.
“And I think as long as I can be here and be a good contrast to everybody else and provide something different, I think that’s why it fits. And as long as I can do it, I think I’m gonna have a good position here.” said the former two times World Heavyweight Champion.
