Speaking exclusively to Mail Sport, Gunther addressed suggestions he was supposed to face Lesnar, and gave his opinion on potentially doing so in the future.

'Of course, I heard something about it,' he said. 'I always saw Brock as my final boss.

'I always get portrayed as that, as the NXT UK Champion, the Intercontinental Champion, I was like the final boss of that division. And Brock, for a long time, was the final boss of the whole company. So I always saw myself in my future to be in a similar position to him, and to be that you've got to get in the ring with that guy.

'We'll see if there's a chance for it to happen again. I'm more than up for it. How the situation is exactly right now, I'm really not that informed about it, to be honest. I think we had that one face off in the Royal Rumble, the reaction that was there and that was a confirmation for me.'

'I think one of the reasons why I didn't want to go to the US for a long time was because Raw and SmackDown under Vince's vision at that time was something that was never appealing to me as a wrestler,' he said. 'It was just not what I was interested in.

'I'm a throwback, and I like to have my time for my matches, and I like to have to focus on what I do in the ring, and not the bells and whistles around it. And that experience back then [at Survivor Series 2019] was almost a confirmation for that.

'I'm a throwback, and I like to have my time for my matches, and I like to have to focus on what I do in the ring, and not the bells and whistles around it. And that experience back then was, like, almost a confirmation for that.

'I got really lucky, I always had a good relationship with Triple H, and a lot of things fell in place at the right time for me, and with how everything is run now. I think it's way more modern, it's more intelligent in terms of placing certain talent and showcasing their strengths. So it's a very exciting time, and I think the our fans can feel it's like a like a breath of fresh air.'

Would love to see it still

I do hope one day we get this match. It’s something I’d love to see.

If Triple H is to be believed, Brock will be back. And that has to be one of the first matches penciled for when he returns.

There aren’t too many “dream” Brock Lesnar matches left. So this one needs to happen
