WWE star Gunther has recently reacted to missing out on the WrestleMania main event this time at Show of Shows. Previously, most of the wrestlers have expressed their disappointment at being left out of the main event. Gunther has also reacted to it similarly.
The Ring General has expressed his opinion during a candid conversation with Ariel Helwani. During the interview on The Ariel Helwani Show, Gunther said, “Well, no, I’m not.

He also opined that he is not worried about being left out. "But I don’t want to stress about it. Because in the long term, later on, when I finished my career and I know I was able to be financially set up, took care of my family, and that I did all of this, doing the thing that I always wanted to do, I don’t know if I never main event WrestleMania that’s going to make a difference about how proud or happy I will be about my career," Gunther stated.
He further added about the emotional challenges that wrestlers go through when they miss out such a big opportunity, “So I think that’s a mental challenge for the wrestlers, you want to do all those things naturally. That’s like the first reactions, like you want to achieve this, and you want to do that."

Gunther currently wants to focus on his upcoming bout and will try his best to perform at the upcoming bout, as he believes that is the only good thing that can happen to be present in the moment and put all the effort there.
