Gunther Sings For WWE Fans After CM Punk Battle
Gunther broke character to lead fans in song at a recent WWE Live Event.
The reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion is known for his serious approach and intimidating demeanour whilst competing in a WWE ring.
The towering Superstar allowed himself a moment of lightheartedness, however, during a Live Event in his home country of Austria.
WWE rolled into Vienna on 29th March with ‘The Ring General’ successfully defending his title against one of high toughest challengers to date, CM Punk, in a hard fought cage match.
‘The Second City Saint’ came up short in his attempt to capture the coveted gold from Gunther, but did take to the microphone to praise his opponent in front of his countrymen:
“This man is a champion for a reason, he represents championship-calibre people, hard-working, blue-collar, salt of the earth, Vienna pride. Congratualtions champ, I will see you down the line.
“And now, he’s going to sing some folk songs with you people.”
Surprisingly, Gunther accepted the challenge, singing a classic Austrian folk song to the delight of the fans in attendance. The moment was captured on camera and released via WWE’s social media platforms.

Gunther Pushed To The Limit By Surprising Contender
Gunther is certainly a fighting champion having defended the World Heavyweight Championship a number of times during WWE’s recent European tour.
The powerful Austrian has previously indicated a desire to battle all contenders, with an unexpected NXT Superstar providing the opposition during a recent WWE Live Event in Spain.
Madrid-born high-flyer Axiom provided a stern test for Gunther but ultimately it was the villainous Imperium member who retained after delivering three brutal powerbombs.
