WWE World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER isn’t just dominating in the ring—he’s now stirring things up outside of it, too. During a recent appearance on WWE LFG on A&E, GUNTHER didn’t hold back when addressing one of The Undertaker’s own recruits, and the reaction to his comments has gone viral.

While chatting with coaches Mickie James, Bully Ray, Booker T, and The Undertaker, GUNTHER called out Olympic gold medalist Tyra Mae Steele, who’s part of Taker’s team on the show. GUNTHER couldn’t believe Steele didn’t realize she had that killer instinct, and he didn’t hesitate to put some of the blame on her coach. “You’re her coach—you should’ve helped her pick that up,” GUNTHER told The Undertaker on the show.

The moment caught everyone off guard, including Taker himself. At first, he looked stunned—but even The Deadman had to admit that GUNTHER had a point.

Now, GUNTHER is doubling down on his remarks. On the Raw Recap podcast with Sam Roberts and Megan Morant, he expanded on why he made the comment and why he stood by it. “Well, there’s no adrenaline rush with that (doing appearances like WWE LFG). I’ve been teaching and coaching people in professional wrestling since — I don’t know how long. Must be more than 10 years now and I know my experience in that and I know what I’m looking for in people,” GUNTHER explained.

Then came the line that’s got everyone talking: “I think in that regard, I have more experience than Taker has himself. I don’t think he coached or trained a lot of people and it was my job that day to point out things I see and that’s what I did.”

With WrestleMania 41 right around the corner, where he’s set to defend his title against Jey Uso, GUNTHER’s confidence is clearly running high—not just as a competitor, but as a voice of authority in the business.
