He is serious, focused, and honest about how he feels going into the event.In an interview, the champion talked about the pressure of being on top, his thoughts about Jey Uso, and his mindset as WrestleMania gets closer. Gunther gave clear answers that showed how much responsibility he feels as champion.After the April 7 episode of WWE Raw in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Gunther joined Sam Roberts and Megan Morant on the official Raw Recap podcast.Gunther did not try to hide his feelings about the WrestleMania 41 match. He said the story going into the event is not the one he hoped for, and he doesn’t think Jey Uso is on the same level as him. Still, he plans to do his job as champion. He said:“I never had an issue with fitting in those situations. I always knew what I’m capable of. I always knew where I belonged, so it was never a question for me that I would end up in those positions. Even though this year it’s not the scenario I wanted to be in, I have an opponent that’s overreaching by a mile, that is not on my level, and that’s what I’m carrying around with me right now, and going into that, if you ask me, am I excited? I don’t know. I don’t think there’s much excitement to that. I think there’s mostly… I’m a professional. I’m a professional wrestler. I’m the World Heavyweight Champion. There’s a duty to fulfill, and I’m going to do that.” He made it clear that while this may not be the WrestleMania story he imagined, he is still ready to step into the ring and do what a champion must do. For Gunther, it is about showing up and doing his best regardless of the situation.When asked how he personally feels about the match, Gunther did not give a big emotional answer. Instead, he kept it private and explained that his job is to defend the title, not to talk about his feelings. “I think my personal feelings, it’s too intimate of a question to answer, I think. I’m here to fulfill my duties as World Heavyweight Champion. That’s what I’m doing right now,” he said.WrestleMania 41 will take place on April 19 and 20 at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada.
