Gunther claims it is time for The Miz to retire ahead of Survivor Series 2023
Intercontinental Champion Gunther recently suggested that The Miz retire to make room for the superstars of today.
During a recent appearance on WWE's The Bump, Gunther praised The Miz as a sports entertainer but noted that the veteran was in the twilight of his career. The 36-year-old suggested that The A-Lister step aside to allow the WWE Superstars who matter today to shine.
"I'm looking forward to it. He looked very excited, he looked very into the moment. But he has to face his reality now, and his reality is that he has to face me at Survivor Series. I'm very intrigued about that match because he is one of the greatest this company has ever produced. One of the greatest sports entertainers that this company has ever produced, but, he is definitely in the fall of his career. And maybe being in the ring with me will make him realize that it is time to step away maybe, and make room for the people that matter now," he said. [From 37:15 - 37:54]
