"Get lost" - WWE World Heavyweight Champion Gunther gets into verbal altercation following heated backstage confrontation
WWE Superstar Gunther has become one of the biggest names in the Stamford-based promotion. The Ring General mostly maintains his on-screen heel persona on social media, as he recently got into a heated verbal altercation during a backstage interview.
After making a massive name in different independent wrestling promotions, Gunther joined World Wrestling Entertainment in 2019. He quickly made an impact in the company by becoming the longest reigning NXT UK Champion and then achieving the same feat during his Intercontinental Championship run. The Imperium leader is currently the World Heavyweight Champion and many believe he will not be dethroned anytime soon.
WWE recently uploaded a video to Instagram asking several stars about something they have 'Bad Blood' with. However, when Gunther was asked the same, he maintained his on-screen persona and immediately said that he had Bad Blood with the WWE social media team, telling them to get lost.
"The social media team here. People like you that always annoy me. Asking me stupid questions. Get lost," he said.

Former WWE employee believes Gunther is "boring"
During an episode of the Behind The Turnbuckle: The Last Word podcast, former WWE employee Tommy Carlucci discussed Gunther's segment with Sami Zayn on this week's RAW.
Carlucci said he was not a fan of The Ring General's promos and believed no one cared about him agreeing to face Sami Zayn with the World Heavyweight Championship on the line.
"Can Gunther get anymore boring? Really. I'm not trying to be an a**hole about this whole thing, but he is so freaking boring even cutting a promo that at least he's trying to be exciting, but I'm not hooked. I'm not hooked at all. They've been shoving this down our throats for the last month. And you knew there was gonna be a payoff where Sami was gonna get his match. I don't give a s**t. I don't care, and I don't think anybody else cares either," he said.
Sami Zayn has beaten Gunther once in the past for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania XL. It will be interesting to see if Zayn will be able to dethrone The Ring General once again next week on RAW.
