There is a report coming out of Fightful that is saying that Gunther (formerly WALTER) is impressing a lot of higher ups in WWE.

The exact words were that Gunther is impressing "people of influence" in WWE, with the star gaining a lot of supporters due to his work in WWE NXT UK.

Per the report, many things have put him in favor with WWE officials including his move to the United States, and his dedication to his diet and training. The report states that Gunther's ability to adapt to changes so easily has made a great impression on those where it counts.

The report also states that Vince McMahon is quite high on Gunther's in-ring work from what he has seen of it on SmackDown.
