World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER is ready to prove he is the top champion in WWE at the expense of WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.
The two will battle today at WWE Crown Jewel to determine the first-ever WWE Crown Jewel Champion, a title introduced at WWE Bad Blood 2024.
Speaking on WWE La Previa, GUNTHER was asked what separates a champion like himself to Cody Rhodes. He said,
“I think I’m a little bit more honest because I can say I do this for myself. My success is the most important thing to me. Cody is someone, he always does this for somebody else, and he finishes the story for his dad, and he does this, and it’s for somebody else. He just really forces the attention to him, and I think that makes me a more confident champion than him because I don’t need that, I don’t need that backup. I’m not interested in it, and I think that’s a big difference. I think it’s a little bit two worlds colliding.”
GUNTHER also spoke of the pair’s impending match, in which he aims to prove that the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion is second to him. He said,
“I just have to do what I always do, be the best in that ring, dominate that match, set the pace, and [I] will make clear that Cody truly is the secondary champion to me. I’m already setting the standard on Monday Night Raw, and I’m gonna prove that I’m the one that sets the standard in all of WWE. That’s what I’m focused on now, making Cody understand, show him that he’s secondary to me.”
The winner of this match will also receive a championship ring. Stay tuned to eWrestlingNews.com for the latest from WWE Crown Jewel 2024.
