Gunther wants to wipe a former WWE champion off the map for a significant reason, says analyst
A former WWE champion recently teased challenging Gunther for the World Heavyweight Title. WWE analyst Sam Roberts claimed The Ring General probably wants to wipe the said superstar off the map for a significant reason.
Since officially signing a contract with the Stamford-based company, Logan Paul has had two opportunities to capture the Undisputed WWE Championship. However, the former United States Champion failed to dethrone Roman Reigns. He also lost to Cody Rhodes after The American Nightmare captured the title from the OTC.
Last night at the RAW on Netflix Kickoff, The Maverick expressed his intention to pursue the World Heavyweight Championship after joining the red brand. On his Notsam Wrestling podcast, Sam Roberts addressed the potential first-time-ever match between Paul and the current World Heavyweight Champion Gunther.
Roberts pointed out the opposite styles and attitudes both superstars had towards the business.
"The idea that you have this Gunther, who is slowly evolving into being more of a good guy and somebody who the whole character is built on the respect that he has for the mat, for the wrestling ring, for how seriously he takes wrestling. And then you have Logan Paul who's this YouTuber, spectacle boxer, who's come into the world of wrestling and his whole thing is claiming that he's better than anybody else on the roster, doesn't take it seriously, is just kinda there for the spotlight and making these big moments. It's the polar opposite of what Gunther is portraying."
The 41-year-old claimed that The Maverick being Gunther's complete opposite could make The Ring General want to wipe him "off the map."
"And if there's anybody that you would think Gunther wants to wipe off the map in terms of WWE, you would think Logan Paul would be top of his list. So, the idea that that is a story that we could tell. And who knows, maybe Logan Paul is able to outsmart Gunther on his way there. I don't think that that's the next match that we're going to see but I do love the idea of already kinda dropping hints that we may be going towards a Logan Paul vs. Gunther match." [5:50 - 7:02]
WWE analyst Sam Roberts thinks Logan Paul will fail to end Gunther's reign
Multiple former champions have tried to end Gunther's World Heavyweight Title reign over the past four months, including Randy Orton, Damian Priest, and Finn Balor. However, they have all failed.
On the same episode of his Notsam Wrestling podcast, Sam Roberts predicted that Logan Paul would suffer the same fate if he challenged The Ring General.
"I love the idea of Logan Paul vs. Gunther. I don't love the idea for Logan Paul. I don't think Logan Paul's beating Gunther."
At the RAW on Netflix Kickoff, Gunther addressed Logan Paul's comments, saying it would be his duty and pleasure to slap the smirk off The Maverick's face.
