Report: Gunther & Marcel Barthel Discussed For WWE Main Roster Call-Up

WWE

There have reportedly been internal discussions to bring a top NXT act to the WWE main roster, with a notable omission.

Per Fightful Select (subscription required), potential call-ups for Gunter and Marcel Barthel of Imperium have been discussed. It was noted that Fabian Aichner has not been considered for a move.

On Tuesday’s episode of NXT 2.0, Aichner walked out on Barthel during their match against the Creed Brothers. The duo lost the NXT Tag Team Championship at last week’s Stand & Deliver event.

Gunther also received his first singles loss of the year on Tuesday’s show, unsuccessfully challenging for Bron Breakker’s NXT Championship.

Per the report, the plan has been to bring Gunther to the main roster since he moved to the US. SmackDown has reportedly been the heavily discussed destination for the team.

We will continue to provide updates on the situation as they become available.
