Gunther, 36, is the longest reigning WWE NXT UK champion (as Walter) in company history and the longest reigning WWE Intercontinental champion in company history.

His "Imperium" sidekick Ludwig Kasier, who is from Germany, handles the ring introductions for the champ. Job well done. Kaiser is working a program on Raw with former WWE champ and irish-born Sheamus. It will be interesting to see the crowd reaction for both at "Bash in Berlin."

Arrogant, insulting, ridiculing, thought-provoking, full of himself and his abilities, Gunther backs up what he says (like it or not) with history. Also, with what he did, does and will do.
Paul "Triple H" Levesque, who runs creative for WWE, has a lot of faith and confidence in the confident world champ. Gunther has proven his worth before and will continue to do so again and again.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch Champ.
