I was told there is a possibility we could get that match at WrestleMania 39
Drew McIntyre is confident that the match against Gunther will happen
During an interview on an episode of Rasslin' with Brandon F. Walker last year, the Scottish Warrior had huge praise for the former record-breaking NXT UK Champion Gunther (fka WALTER).
McIntyre stated that he can't wait to face him and ensured the fans that a match between them is definitely going to happen.
"He is somebody who has done a great job as the NXT UK representative and a representative of European wrestling. He came out of nowhere. I remember the first day I saw him. It was right before I came back to the WWE. I was at wXw in Germany and was like, 'Who is that? Why have I never seen him before?' That's somebody who I would've picked as one of my guys to work with during that time, but we never got the chance to get together because I never knew he existed, quite frankly. But now, everyone knows he exists and that match is going to happen eventually," said Drew McIntyre.
