Matt Morgan believes WWE will turn Gunther babyface soon
While speaking on a recent episode of Gigantic Pop podcast, wrestling veteran Matt Morgan questioned Gunther’s ability to give interviews outside of WWE.
“[Gunther only exists in the bubble of WWE fans. He’s not part of their mainstream entertainment footprint.] No. I mean, respectfully, have you seen him in interviews outside of WWE? He’s getting better at it but let’s throw me and you in the middle of Mexico and like, ‘Okay, go speak Spanish. Go.’ ‘What?! What?!'” Matt Morgan said.The wrestling veteran further added that he believes WWE will soon turn The Ring General’s character and make him a babyface.
“[Shinsuke did that Toyota with Rick Boogs going surfing and driving up the cost. Like, they fit Shinsuke and Asuka in some other stuff. It’s just interesting with Gunther that you don’t see him…] I think it’s coming. I think it will come when eventually he becomes face because how do you not respect this dude? How do you not appreciate how good he is? They’ll eventually make him face because of that I think. I think that’s when you’ll see it,” Matt Morgan said.Many fans want to see a dream match between Gunther and Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 40. What the Stamford-based company has planned for the Intercontinental Champion’s future remains to be seen.
