Gunther is set to challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at the upcoming Clash in Italy. This event will be significant as it marks The American Nightmare's second title defense following his victory over Drew McIntyre on SmackDown. In a recent interview on Dario Moccia's show, Gunther was pleasantly surprised by a message from FIFA legend Robert Baggio, who expressed appreciation for Gunther wearing his jersey during training. Gunther broke character to thank Baggio and suggested that he should be invited to the event, saying, "I've got to talk to our people here." Additionally, Gunther highlighted WWE star Axiom, calling him the best technical wrestler on the roster despite not having enough chances to prove himself. The anticipation builds as both Gunther and Rhodes prepare for their championship clash, with speculation about a potential feud between Rhodes and CM Punk in the future.
