The Undertaker makes a bold prediction about 6 ft 4 in WWE star ahead of his championship match at Bash in Berlin
WWE legend The Undertaker is gearing up to witness a spectacular upcoming premium live event, Bash in Berlin. The veteran highly praised 6-foot-4 Gunther, making a strong statement ahead of his World Heavyweight Championship match at the PLE in Germany.
The Ring General is set to clash with Randy Orton for the second time on television. Their previous encounter saw Gunther emerge victorious over The Viper to claim the 2024 King of the Ring title in Saudi Arabia.
Ever since Orton challenged the Austrian star for the World Heavyweight Championship at Bash in Berlin, the two men have been engaged in intense and deeply personal promo battles on Monday Night RAW.
In a recent episode of his Six Feet Under podcast, The Undertaker suggested that Gunther's chops might be even more impactful and impressive than those of the legendary 16-time World Champion, Ric Flair.
"I think (Ric) Flair's was a work shoot chop. It was there, you felt it. But, Gunther, man (...) there's not really a lot of hit and slide off with Gunther. His (chop) is kind of hit-and-go in (...) and there's a recoil and another one coming right back, but it's perfect for him," he said. (From 55:32 to 56:05)
The WWE Hall of Famer boldly claimed that The Imperium leader would be a bigger babyface than Randy Orton at the PLE in Germany.
"He's going to be a mega ultra babyface," he added. (From 56:42 to 56:45)

Wrestling veteran believes WWE made a huge mistake with Gunther on RAW
On the latest installment of Monday Night RAW, Randy Orton squared off against Ludwig Kaiser in a one-on-one match as the main event of the show. With Kaiser in the ring against The Apex Predator, Gunther stood at ringside to cheer on his Imperium stablemate.
However, the presence of the World Heavyweight Champion at ringside didn't sit well with former WWE writer, Vince Russo. On Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW, Russo criticized the company's booking, arguing that The Ring General should have been banned from ringside after The Judgment Day's earlier assault on Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley.
"Priest goes out there and on the entrance; he is jumped by all of the Judgment Day. Two matches later, Gunther goes out there and just stands around ringside. Where is Adam Pearce? I am watching the main event, and I am thinking, 'Why is Gunther allowed to stand out there? Why is he allowed?"' said Russo.

The Apex Predator has vowed to become a 15-time World Champion at Bash in Berlin. Whether Gunther can retain his WWE World Heavyweight Championship in his first title defense remains to be seen.
