GUNTHER made quite the promise to the fans at a recent WWE live event in Vienna, Austria: that he will return to his native land as a WWE World Champion.
The Ring General was at the May 2, event in Vienna and unsurprisingly received a warm response from the crowd. In fact, the response was so overwhelming, that it was difficult to hear the introduction for GUNTHER over the roar of the crowd.

After his match, GUNTHER spoke to the fans inside the Wiener Stadthalle. The Ring General addressed his past in NXT UK and his record-shattering 666-day reign as the WWE Intercontinental Champion. Looking to the future, GUNTHER vowed that the next time WWE comes to Austria, he will be a World Champion.

This event marked WWE's return to Austria after last hosting a show in the country in 2019. At the time, GUNTHER was competing as WALTER and held the NXT United Kingdom Championship. The Ring General defended on the November night against Jordan Devlin (now JD McDonagh of the Judgment Day.)
GUNTHER isn't in the World Championship picture right now, but many feel this is an inevitability for the Imperium leader. Several respected names in WWE have praised GUNTHER with The Undertaker believing the sky's the limit for the grappler. After his record-breaking performance in the 2023 Men's Royal Rumble match, Triple H had plenty of praise for the Austrian. While GUNTHER said during his Intercontinental title reign that it was not the right time to chase a World Championship, it's possible that the right time is coming now GUNTHER's previous title reign is a thing of the past.
