A top WWE star has addressed recently being absent from WWE television following a major premium live event victory.
Former Intercontinental Champion Gunther won the 2024 King of the Ring tournament back in May, defeating Randy Orton in the Tournament final.
Gunther’s victory earned him a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam in Cleveland, which has been confirmed to be against Damian Priest following his victory at Money In The Bank.
In the weeks since King of the Ring, Gunther has not appeared regularly on WWE Raw, primarily appearing in vignettes on the show prior to Money In The Bank.
Speaking to Gorilla Position, Gunther was asked about his recent absence from WWE television following Money In The Bank, noting that it made sense for him to not appear, and that ‘less is more’.
He said:
“Overall, I’m a big fan of less is more. I think it’s a rule that applies in most occasions in life. I think in general, it makes sense right now. After I won the King of the Ring, it was clear I will be challenging for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam. To be fair, there was not really a need to be involved that much before Money in the Bank.
“I had the luxury of leaning back for a few weeks and just looking at the things that happened and looking at all the drama that went on with the Judgment Day and Seth being back and all the chaos with Punk and Drew. It was amusing to watch, I have to say, and I enjoyed it.”
