WWE star GUNTHER has high praise for Oba Femi, previewing what he believes would be interesting about a future match between the two.
GUNTHER and Femi will both be in action at WWE Clash In Italy on Sunday against Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar respectively.
Speaking with No-Contest Wrestling, GUNTHER was asked about his thoughts on Femi and was full of praise, saying:
“Oba is a standout talent. I think in the short time he’s been in the company, he’s taken huge steps. But we will see how he deals with that. That’s a big burden or a big responsibility right from the get go.
“I want to see him succeed in that, because I think he’s an amazing talent and the future is very bright for him. I hope he maintains that, stays around, so when it comes down to us two, he’s gonna be ready for it.
“I’m tall and I’m a heavyweight, but people often, when they think about matches with Oba… it’s not gonna be like how Oba and Brock is. I wouldn’t match up with Oba on a physical level. He’s stronger than I am, I don’t know if he’s a little bit taller or not, and he’s younger than I am.
“I think what would make that interesting is seeing me work from underneath a little bit, wrestle from underneath against a stronger opponent.
“I think that’s a test that would be interesting for him, how to last in a longer match, how to endure 20 minutes with somebody much, much, much more experienced than him.
“And that’s why I need him to gain experience himself first, because when I meet him, I wanna meet him on eye level.”

Why GUNTHER Brought Back His Original Entrance Theme
Elsewhere in the interview, GUNTHER was asked about the decision to bring back his Symphony No. 9 In E Minor entrance theme.
He explained:
“I wanted that again. When I joined the main roster, I had a new song, new entrance music. I liked it, but it felt very much ‘WWE.’ I think my strong (suit) was always be different to everybody else.
“In that environment, I felt what I had before was a part of that, made me stand out, nobody’s really using a classical piece.
“I had it for so long so I developed a good feeling for it, so that’s why I wanted it back. That was the simple reason for that.”
