Vince McMahon Didn’t Know Who Current WWE Star Was

It’s always exciting to see one of your favorite NXT stars get called up to the main roster and so far Gunther has had an impressive run on the main roster. Gunther is the current Intercontinental Champion, but it sounds like Vince McMahon was not familiar with Gunther before he made it to the main roster.

Back in November of 2019 the stars of NXT invaded the main roster and Road Dogg noted on his Oh You Didn’t Know? podcast that Vince McMahon didn’t know who Gunther was at the time.

“Look, Vince didn’t watch the program. Vince heard the social media reports about the program, he read the emails about the ratings, he got the information. He didn’t know who GUNTHER was. He didn’t know what GUNTHER brought to the table. He very much was not the guy out scouting talent at independent shows in other countries. That’s not Vince McMahon. He didn’t know what GUNTHER brought to the table.”

It was recently reported that Vince McMahon wanted to bury Gunther over the summer shortly before he retired, but it seems that Triple H is high on the IC Champion and wants to use him on the main roster for years to come. Stay tuned for updates.
