A WWE veteran has high praise for Gunther

Vince Russo believes that Gunther is even better than Roman Reigns in certain ways despite how talented the Bloodline leader is.

Speaking on Sportskeeda's Writing with Russo, the veteran heaped praise on the Ring General's character work:

As of now, only time will tell how Gunther fares in the upcoming WWE Royal Rumble. Fans will have to stay tuned to see whether he will outlast everyone else to win the match.
