Gunther gets personal tour bus as he renews WWE contract, eyes for huge record
Gunther has had his best times in his WWE career, and now he has made things official for the future. Just before WrestleMania 41, the current World Heavyweight Champion admitted to signing a new WWE contract. But this is not just any contract, this one comes with a big benefit that proves how much WWE values him.
As he heads into a huge match against Royal Rumble winner Jey Uso, Gunther is not just defending his title, he is also aiming to make history. His new deal and continued success show that WWE sees him as one of the most important stars on the roster.
Gunther’s journey with WWE
Since signing with WWE in 2019, Gunther has been a constant champion. He has barely been without a title during his time with the company. He made history with his 666-day reign as Intercontinental Champion and also held the NXT UK Championship longer than anyone else. Now, he’s the World Heavyweight Champion, holding the title since SummerSlam 2024.
“I’m set where I am. Since I signed in 2019, I’ve been champion like 85-90% of the time. So obviously they always saw me a certain way and give me that trust and I enjoyed it,” he said on The Ariel Helwani Show.
Gunther has earned the trust of WWE through his performances. He is known for his hard-hitting style and strong presence in the ring. He has always been seen as a serious competitor.
A tour bus and a new goal for Gunther
One of the most surprising parts of Gunther’s new contract is the perk that comes with it, a personal tour bus. Only top WWE Superstars get this kind of travel setup, and Gunther is now one of them. He disclosed that it was not offered to him, he had to ask for it himself.
“l asked for that. What you don’t ask for, you don’t get.”
This shows how much Gunther understands his value and is not afraid to speak up. WWE agreed, showing that they respect him enough to give him a benefit that only stars like Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, and CM Punk usually receive.
Along with this new deal, Gunther is now one step closer to another huge milestone. If he defeats Jey Uso at WrestleMania 41, he will be just 67 days away from breaking Seth Rollins’ record for the longest World Heavyweight Championship reign. This would add another record to his already impressive career.
Gunther’s new WWE contract shows just how far he’s come. He is no longer just a standout performer, he is one of WWE’s top stars. With a personal bus, a legacy that could soon break records, and a big WrestleMania match ahead, the future looks very bright for “The Ring General.”
