WWE News: Gunther comments on comparison with NXT UK Title reign and Roman Reigns’ Universal Title reign
The wrestling world has brought Roman Reigns’ title reign in comparison with Gunther’s NXT UK Title reign. However, the Intercontinental Champion doesn’t recognize his reign as successful as the Tribal Chief.
In his recent interview on Ten Count, Gunther told Steve Fall why his title reign isn’t comparable to Roman Reigns.
“Obviously I see that comparison a lot. I think it’s not comparable. I think it’s a very different situation. NXT UK compared to the main roster, obviously the competition is not on the same level. The frequency of shows is by far not on the same level, and I held it during the pandemic time. I would say I had a title reign where it was quality over quantity. I didn’t have that many matches, but the matches I had were entertaining and good, while Roman, he’s not there that often at the moment anymore, but before he was always present, traveling up and down the country, doing all those live events as the champion. So I think those two title reigns are not really comparable and I don’t compare [them],” Gunther said. [H/T Ringside News]

Earlier this year, Gunther won the Intercontinental Title defeating Ricochet. Since then, the Ring General has defended the title multiple times with some high-quality matches with Sheamus, Rey Mysterio, and Shinsuke Nakamura.
