“And I just catch myself in the middle of that, and everybody being so invested. And I’m a little bit — feeling-wise, I feel like I’m a little bit above it because I’m not as invested. And yeah, it was definitely very interesting then [that I] end up to be the guy that actually takes it away at the end and causes a bunch of drama."
After seeing the reaction Gunther received following his victory over John Cena, WWE decided to put him over as the biggest heel of the promotion.
