Former World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER made his debut on WWE's main roster in April 2022 following WrestleMania 38, which was just a few months before Vince McMahon resigned from his role as CEO in the company due to being accused of sex trafficking and assault. During that time, "The Ring General" briefly had an opportunity to work with McMahon, but he found more success on "WWE SmackDown" once Triple H took over as Head of Creative, specifically after winning the Intercontinental Championship. GUNTHER just celebrated three years of being on the main roster, and in a recent interview on"The Ariel Helwani Show," he reflected on performing under McMahon, and why he prefers working for Triple H instead.
"I was underVince for 4 months or something and it was a strange workexperience ... the direction was veryconfusing, it was hard to figure out what was expected of me, which usually is never an issue." GUNTHER said. "At the end of the day, everything came aroundfor me. I was lucky often in my career in terms of timing. I was at the rightplace at the right time very often but yeah overall I'm 100% a Hunterguy, like that's been my whole career in WWE was like my directions came from Hunter."
GUNTHER admitted that he struggles to become invested with creative plans when he doesn't understand or agree with them, and can become quickly unmotivated by lack of direction. He stated that frustrations with McMahon never reached that far, but often felt confused within his first few months on the main roster.
