Gunther opens up about his long-term goals in WWE

Current WWE Intercontinental Champion Gunther has discussed his long-term goals in the company and where he sees himself.

After dominating the NXT UK brand, The Ring General made his main roster debut last year on SmackDown and went on to become an unstoppable force on the blue brand. He is the leader of the heelish stable IMPERIUM, which includes Giovanni Vinci and Ludwig Kaiser.

During a recent interview with My San Antonio, Gunther stated that he wants to add more accomplishments to his résumé and remain in phenomenal shape. He also wants to be the best Intercontinental Champion he can be:

"I don't really focus on what's next and stuff like that. I want to achieve more things in my career. But at the moment, I'm focused on being the best Intercontinental Champion I can be. I want to stay healthy and want to stay in good shape, and be on top of my game, and learn and grow. The future will tell me where I am gonna end up. Overall, I always try to focus on the moment live in the moment and enjoy that moment. And then we'll see what comes next."
