Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes has explained why he is not intimidated by Gunther becoming the ‘career killer’ in WWE.

Over the past year, Gunther has found himself becoming the ‘Career Killer’ in WWE, with him retiring Goldberg, AJ Styles and John Cena over the past year.

Gunther’s run as the Career Killer has set him up for a future WWE Championship match with Cody Rhodes, with them set to face off tomorrow night at WWE Clash In Italy in Turin.

Cody Rhodes Says He’s Not Scared Of ‘Career Killer’ Gunther

Many have cited Gunther’s impressive run as the ‘Career Killer’ as something potentially makes him the favourite at Clash In Italy, but Cody himself is not intimidated by Gunther’s recent Career Killer run.

Speaking to Joe Tessitore ahead of Clash In Italy, Cody explained why Gunther being the ‘Career Killer’ doesn’t strike fear into him, but what does is Gunther being the best version of himself he has ever been.

He said:

“Beating the greatest of all time John Cena, on paper you’d say that makes you dangerous, but I felt like he got John Cena in the Winter of his career. AJ Styles, beating AJ Styles. Bell to bell, we’re comparing him to the likes of Shawn Michaels, who’s better than AJ Styles? But again, at the end I beat AJ Styles, I beat John Cena.

“And Goldberg, no disrespect to Goldberg, I’m from Atlanta, I love Goldberg, but Goldberg was in for one final outing, one final shot, out of season, I don’t think there was a person on Earth who thought that would go any other way than it did.

“So I’m not gonna look at Gunther with fear because he ended careers at the end of those careers, I’m not looking at him with fear. I’ll look at Gunther with fear because Gunther is the best version of himself he’s ever been.

“Look back at old WALTER stuff, I think we’re okay to say WALTER, look back at old WALTER stuff. Look at wXw or NXT or NXT UK; hard, hard hitter, but also quick as a cat. You look at an Ernie Ladd or a Vader and think it’s going to be this big forearm to the side of the head, but instead he’s got excellent hard to beat fundamentals.

“He’s a wrestler’s wrestler, he is every wrestler’s favourite, but we have history, and sometimes you have somebody’s number, and I think his outlook on me has been that I have his number, and I think that’s what’s caused this entire yoyo-ing back and forth with Nick Aldis.

“‘I’m gonna sign a contract, I’m not gonna sign a contract. I might come to SmackDown, I’m not sure’. Raw is done with you, so this is where you need to wrestle now, you need to wrestle on SmackDown, and here you’re not getting the red carpet or those things, (the WWE Championship) is what we have, and it’s mine, and I love the fact he wants it, come and try and take it.”
