Don’t get why people are being spiteful towards Gunther. He works hard, great in the ring, great on the mic without even having English as his first language, seems a sweetheart irl and does his job well. His character is meant to be serious and not goofy so others can play off him. I swear fans get bored too easily and take it out on people who don’t deserve it.
I hate the fact that how people don't give a f**k about Gunther's absence...it seems like people forgot him already
Gunther doesn’t get a lot of respect. He had a long intercontinental title reign, and he dominated for a year as world heavyweight champion.
I actually liked the ending of this match. Cody couldn't overpower Gunther so instead he outsmarted him.
Very good match between Cody and Gunther last year at Crown Jewel 🔥🔥
Then Cody Rhodes fan base 1%/100% - Now Cody Rhodes fan base 100%/100%❤❤❤
I think Gunther will be the final opponent for John that could mean he could retire 2 people this year
29:31 Cody Rhodes did the same pin like Bret Hart at wrestlemania 8
This is one of the best and most memorable matches throughout 2024 Between Cody Rhodes and Gunther . This year 2025 Cody Rhodes will repeat his achievement again, will he be able to defend his Crown Jewel title?The problem is that the aura of Homeleander Cody Rhodes is still worthy of maintaining the title of Crown Jewel.
lol gunther looking codys entrance like a proud dad
