WWE International Champion has unveiled the super secret behind his latest incredible transformation. The Austrian-based wrestler debuted under the Stanford-based company’s former NXT UK brand in 2019.
After playing for three years, Gunther made his main roster debut on SmackDown. At that time, for his main roster journey, Gunther has gone through an incredible body transformation. The wrestler lost nearly around 60 to 65 pounds.
In a recent interview, the 35-year-old wrestler shared the secret behind his weight loss journey. According to the sources, Gunther said that “Everybody knows how I (Gunther) looked before, so Everybody knows I really liked to eat before that! I (referring to himself) had to make a cut to that to limited food intake.”
Gunther continues that It is also a bit tricky because he loves to cook and likes food, but at the end of the day, he has got to give credit to Kaiser (Ludwig Kaiser) and Vinci (Giovanni Vinci) because they (Kaiser and Vinci) have been in incredible shape already.
He (Gunther) just hopped on board with them. They kicked his butt to pull it off, even though it was difficult. The WWE champ said with a smile that, like he said, it always comes back to the support system, and that is many areas in your life.

Gunther’s body transformation didn’t affect his Wrestling character
Although, the wrestler said that his massive weight loss didn’t affect WWE. He also believes the Stamford company has remained unaffected by his weight loss. As per the reports, the WWE International champ said that “Despite looking different, what he (Gunther) does inside the ring and on the microphone still remains the same.”
He further stated, “To be fair, I never had to sell it to anyone because when I (Gunther) signed with WWE, they (Stamford) just look how I was. ” and continues that Since then, it hasn’t really changed.
Of course, the name (the wrestler acknowledged to go by his real name Walter) has changed, and he has dropped a few pounds. Besides what he does in the ring or how the wrestler talk or anything, Gunther feels like that has stayed pretty much the same.
If we talk about Gunther, who is actually named Walter Hahn, an Austrian professional wrestler, he has been an active wrestler for over a decade. Where Hahn performs on the Raw Brand under the ring name Gunther, he became a broken star on the Independent circuit in the United Kingdom and other sides.
The WWE wrestler stands for 6’4 ft and weighs around 300 pounds (Now he lost over 65 pounds). Despite his physique, the player is considered one of the most heavyweights ever to set foot in the WWE ring. If we talk about his career, the WWE International champion has bagged titles in England, Germany, Ireland, and the U.S.
He took only three months after coming into NXT UK; the player knocked out Pete Dunne’s historic 685-day reign as WWE UK Champion. It is one of the biggest accomplishments of Gunther, and yet more come. The 35-years old held the prestigious Ring General title for over two years.
At the NXT Takeover 36, the record of Gunther’s 870-day reign was taken down by Dragunov. However, no one will soonly forget the epic reign of the Ring General.
Overall, Gunther’s strong mind and constant food diet and exercise have helped him lose weight. Despite his body transformation, we can say there are no changes in Gunther’s character. The wrestler awaits the upcoming challenges to be a showdown with the opponent Drew McIntyre at the Summer Slam. He seemed excited to get in the ring with the Scottish wrestler and showcase his strength.
