Kurt Angle has his sights set on a top WWE star who he believes could be elevated to even greater heights in the near future.
While many wrestling fans knew of Walter from his time in the independents and in NXT UK, the mainstream audience experienced Gunther for the first time following his main roster arrival in 2022. Breaking the record for the longest Intercontinental Championship reign in WWE history and currently the top champion on Raw, The Ring General has established himself as one of the top stars in the company. However, while speaking with Casino.org, Angle predicted that Gunther will be a consistent main event talent:
“I’ve got my sights on Gunther; I love that kid. He has a lot of talent, and I think he’s going to be the next breakthrough star, where he’s main event 24/7. He’s a solid technician, a great heel and I think he’s going to be the one we’re going to see a lot more of in the years to come in this business.”
Gunther will put the World Heavyweight Championship on the line against Jey Uso at WrestleMania 41. In a recent interview, Gunther opened up about how long he intends to wrestle for.
