Gunther breaks character to share rare photo of his wife and son
Gunther broke character today on social media to share a rare personal update with his wife and son. The Ring General is the current World Heavyweight Champion and is involved in a rivalry with Sami Zayn on WWE RAW.
Sami Zayn defeated the veteran at WrestleMania XL to end his 666-day reign as Intercontinental Champion. However, Zayn lost the title to Bron Breakker at SummerSlam last month and is now trying to capture the World Heavyweight Championship.
Ahead of tonight's episode of SmackDown, the World Heavyweight Champion broke character to share an update with his wife (former NXT star Jinny) and his son. You can check out the World Heavyweight Champion's post on his Instagram story by clicking here.
The RAW star has not accepted Sami Zayn's challenge for a World Heavyweight Championship match yet. Zayn will be squaring off against Imperium's Ludwig Kaiser next Monday night on RAW in a singles match.
Vince Russo reacts to Gunther referencing Goldberg on WWE RAW
Former WWE writer Vince Russo recently shared his thoughts on Gunther claiming Goldberg was his favorite wrestler on RAW.
Bret Hart appeared on the September 9 edition of the red brand but was interrupted by the leader of Imperium. The 37-year-old praised The Hitman as a wrestler but hilariously claimed that Goldberg was his favorite. Bret Hart has made it known that he has not forgiven Goldberg for causing his concussion at WCW Starrcade 1999.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW show, Russo noted that Bret Hart got a great reaction from the crowd in Calgary earlier this month. He also shared that he loved the line about Goldberg as well.
"We had Bret Hart get a nice pop which is great. That’s good for Bret to get all his dessert. But when Gunther said his favorite wrestler was Goldberg, that popped me. I loved it. Then the Sami thing is like, oh bro, please stop with this guy for crying out loud." [From 1:06:18 onwards]

The Imperium star has held the World Heavyweight Championship for 47 days now. It will be interesting to see if Sami Zayn can capture the title in the weeks ahead.
