WWE World Heavyweight Champion Gunther has stated that WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H played a pivotal role in his success.
\'The Ring General\' has tasted massive success in WWE under Triple H\'s control. He has been the longest-reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion of all time and soon became the World Heavyweight Champion. Gunther has now hailed his boss for the creative direction and how he has benefitted from it.
Gunther told Metro UK that Triple H has always supported him and praised his boss for his disciplined approach while also focusing on the long-term goals. He said:
\"He always supported me and saw something in me. In general, I think he is somebody that is very disciplined when it comes to his long term goals with certain people and sticking to them. I don’t know if I would be here without ever being more or less connected with Triple H in that sense.\

Gunther also talked about having creative freedom and how Triple H deals with it. He said:
\"All I can do is I can do me. I can do that better than anybody else. And in my case, it’s \'take it or leave it.\'\
The current WWE World Heavyweight Champion then revealed that he didn’t share the same connection with his former boss Vince McMahon. The Austrian powerhouse made his way into the main roster for the first time in 2019 but was eliminated in minutes at WWE Survivor Series. He didn\'t get much time to work under Vince but said that there was a difference in their creative ideas. He said:
\"The creative ideas from his side, obviously, was never my kind of thing. But that’s subjective. It’s a taste thing. I think the success can’t be denied. But I was just under him for maybe three and a half months, and in that time, I had half a conversation with him.\
Gunther is thriving and he looks unstoppable as the World Champion. However, Sami Zayn is determined to end his title run similar to how he dethroned him off the Intercontinental title. On this week\'s WWE Raw, Gunther finally accepted Zayn’s challenge and they will face each other soon. However, that happened after \'The Ring General\' laid out Zayn with a brutal attack.
