Shortly before SummerSlam, it was reported that Gunther may need to take time off due to an unspecified nose issue. Therefore, when his nose was busted open during the main event of SummerSlam night 1, few fans who follow the dirt sheets were surprised. And now providing slightly more information, Dave Meltzer has confirmed that Gunther is set to undergo surgery, with the blood used in the match “100% worked blood and planned.”
Since being called up to the main roster and changing his name from Walter to Gunther, the 37-year-old Austrian has arguably become WWE’s most dominant heel, resulting in two runs as the World Heavyweight Champion. Therefore, his absence from the ring will be huge for the company, and all that can be hoped is that the injury is more severe than it sounds, and he can resume wrestling sooner rather than later.
