Gunther has learned to use Artificial Intelligence, which he's combined with classic heel tactics to increase the heat on The Road to WrestleMania 41. After key RAW developments with Jey Uso, the Austrian Superstar was forced to hurl savage claims and disrespect. Now, the World Heavyweight Champion has provided very interesting updates.

The Ring General continues to wage war against Main Event Jey. With just over two months until he defends the World Heavyweight Championship on The Grandest Stage of Them All, Gunther has jacked Jey's crowd entrance in a move the WWE Universe is likening to Dean Ambrose when he turned heel. The 37-year-old insulted the Charlotte, NC fans at RAW with a line about how performing for them would be like reading Shakespeare to a dog. He later knocked fans' personal hygiene, which he experienced first-hand on Monday.

Gunther took to X today to continue insulting the WWE Universe, showing off his AI image generation abilities. The Imperium leader referenced his aforementioned RAW promo, and shared a photo that shows him reading Shakespeare to a good boy, which looks to be a Golden Retriever. The champ once again knocked fans over personal hygiene.

"To use deodorant or not to use deodorant, that is the question," he wrote with the photo below.

Imperium's leader then took to his Instagram Stories to deliver another jab at the WWE Universe. The former WALTER blasted Monday's RAW crowd with just two words.

"PUTRID SMELL," he wrote in the screenshot below.

The 2024 King of the Ring has not wrestled since retaining over Uso at WWE SNME on January 25. This was his only 2025 match so far, and it remains to be seen if he will compete again before WrestleMania.
