The latest episode of WWE Raw saw the Austrian powerhouse GUNTHER continue to bask in the glory of his recent victory over John Cena, but not everyone was pleased with the manner in which he celebrated. Bully Ray, known for his outspoken nature, took to his social media to express his dissatisfaction with an aspect of GUNTHER’s backstage segment.
GUNTHER’s segment, which featured him being congratulated by Adam Pearce, saw him deliver a few promos that left some viewers feeling underwhelmed. According to sources close to the WWE, GUNTHER’s promos were criticized by several wrestlers backstage for being too formulaic and lacking any real depth.
Bully Ray Weighs In
Bully Ray took to Twitter to express his thoughts on the situation, stating, “GUNTHER’s promos are starting to feel like a script he’s stuck in. Newsflash, GUNTHER: just because you’re good at the ring doesn’t mean you’re a natural on the mic. Time to mix it up, buddy.”
This isn’t the first time Bully Ray has spoken out about the state of WWE promos. In the past, he’s been vocal about his dislike for wrestlers relying too heavily on pre-written lines and not being willing to take risks on the mic.
A WWE Insider Weighs In
According to a WWE insider, the criticism of GUNTHER’s promos is not just limited to Bully Ray. “There are several wrestlers backstage who are frustrated with the way GUNTHER is being used. They feel like he has a lot of potential, but it’s being wasted on these generic promos. It’s starting to feel like the WWE is playing it too safe with him.”
The insider also revealed that there are some within the WWE who are pushing for GUNTHER to be given more freedom to improvise on the mic. “There are some people who believe that GUNTHER would be better off not having a script to follow. They think that would allow him to tap into his natural charisma and really connect with the audience.”
GUNTHER’s Rise to the Top
GUNTHER’s recent rise to the top of the WWE has been nothing short of meteoric. After a series of impressive performances, he finally got his big break when he defeated John Cena on the latest episode of Raw.
However, with great success comes great scrutiny. And it seems that GUNTHER is starting to feel the heat from some of his peers. According to sources close to the WWE, GUNTHER has been feeling the pressure to perform and is starting to feel overwhelmed by the demands of being a top star.
The Future of GUNTHER
So what’s next for GUNTHER? Will he be able to shake off the criticism and continue to rise to the top of the WWE, or will he falter under the pressure? Only time will tell.
One thing is certain, however: GUNTHER’s promos will continue to be a topic of discussion among WWE fans and insiders alike. And with Bully Ray continuing to speak out against what he sees as a lack of creativity, it’s clear that this is a story that will continue to unfold in the coming weeks and months.
In the meantime, fans will be eagerly awaiting GUNTHER’s next move. Will he take the criticism to heart and try to mix things up, or will he continue to stick to the script? Only GUNTHER knows for sure.
