Gunther says no one greeted him backstage after WWE RAW win.
Gunther defeated Jey Uso on WWE RAW to become a two-time World Heavyweight Champion. Jey, who previously beat The Ring General at WrestleMania 41, held the title for 51 days before dropping it in a shocking result. Many expected Jey to retain, but Gunther secured the win after making him pass out to a sleeper hold.
The new World Heavyweight Champion, Gunther, appeared on the RAW Recap show and spoke candidly about what happened after his victory backstage. He revealed that no one greeted him backstage, unlike other champions who often receive congratulations and celebrations from other WWE Superstars.
Gunther isn’t in WWE to make friends
“Everybody gets excited about everything in this business, a lot of my colleagues don’t seem to have many friends at home or something like that. To them it’s very important to have a good time here at work with all the guys together. When somebody achieves something they come to the back and everybody’s there, hugging them. When I walked backstage today, there was no one. Everybody left, I guess all the other guys saw it on the screens, saw the finish and left to their hotels, or to travel home or something.”
“I like that, I enjoy that position. I don’t need friends, I’m not here to make friends. I’m not here to bond or make lifelong friendships, I have a few friends, I have a great family. That’s all I need, and I’m here for business, I’m here to uphold the standard and prestige of this great sport. I’m the sole representation of what really matters in professional wrestling, and that’s the reason why I’m so successful.” [H/T: Wrestletalk]
Gunther also reacted to the rumors and speculation that Goldberg would show up on RAW to challenge him.
