Gunther reveals how WWE CCO Paul “Triple H” Levesque saved pro wrestling to a big degree

WWE World Heavyweight Champion Gunther is all set to go on a war against “Main Event” Jey Uso, to fight for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 41, which is scheduled to be held on April 19, 2025, and April 20, 2025. Before his big bout at the Show of Shows, Gunther opened up and praised WWE CCO Paul “Triple H” Levesque for his contributions to WWE.
The World Champion has revealed how the WWE Hall of Famer saved professional wrestling in a big way after he took charge of the company from Vince McMahon. Gunther has also discussed the sharp contrast in leadership between Vince McMahon and Triple H.

WWE Champion Gunther has praised Paul "Triple H" Levesque and revealed his contribution to WWE and how he has developed the company so much over the years. He has revealed the details while speaking on The Ariel Helwani Show. In a candid conversation with the host Ariel Helwani, Gunther said, "Obviously, he’s (Triple H) my boss and I’m in a very good position at the company right now, but I think, to a certain degree, that he saved professional wrestling, to a big degree, I think.”

He further stated that Triple H has created so many opportunities in the world of professional wrestling. “When I started in 2005, and all the Europeans that tried to get into WWE, there was such a mystery about it, like who to talk to and what to do. It seemed so far away, such an unrealistic point to achieve. And Hunter was the one that pushed for opening the world to WWE and created so many jobs and opportunities back then for so many of the guys, like for us, for all the European guys,” he said.
As per reports, Gunther’s wrestling career was shaped under Triple H’s creative direction in WWE, with most of his time in the company being under the direction of 'The Game'. Gunther debuted with WWE in 2018 and transitioned fully to the U.S.-based NXT brand in 2022, before Triple H’s influence became more prominent following Vince McMahon's resignation in July 2022 and January 2024.


Besides these, the World Champion has also shared his experience in WWE during the Vince McMahon era. Responding to this Gunther said, it was a “strange work experience.” He also revealed that things were confusing during his time, and he did not exactly understand what WWE expected of Gunther.

The heavyweight champion has drawn a stark comparison between the two and noted that he is in a very good position right now and is living the dream in the company. Earlier, Gunther was seen on the February 10 edition of RAW, when he attacked Jey Uso, which provoked Uso to call a match against The Ring General at WrestleMania 41.
