Gunther discusses how the WWE main roster is way more experienced than NXT

Gunther defeated Ricochet to become the Intercontinental Champion WWE Intercontinental Champion recently spoke about the differences between working in NXT and the main roster. The Austrian Anomaly made his way to SmackDown on April 8. Since then, he has been a formidable force on the blue brand, taking down one opponent after another. He also conquered Ricochet to become the Intercontinental Champion on the June 10 episode. Speaking on the podcast with Ryan Satin this week, the champ detailed that he always stepped into the ring as a true professional and the number of people watching did not matter. He mentioned that things in were more process-oriented due to the inexperienced roster while SmackDown was much more relaxed. "At the end of the day, when it comes to what happens in the ring, wrestling is wrestling. For me at least, it doesn't matter if it's in front of 50 people or it's in front of 100,000 people,"said Gunther. "What makes a difference is all the happenings around the ring when people are involved. A lot more stuff has to happen in a shorter amount of time. It's not too different. But I would say NXT is a bit more strict and organized because the people involved are less experienced like the talent and stuff. It's a little bit more relaxed, I would call it, on SmackDown because everybody is way more experienced and can get all the stuff done." (From 27:15 - 28:05) THIS WEEK! joins @RyanSatin on
