Gunther praises Logan Paul as being a “great addition” for WWE

During an interview with Ariel Helwani, WWE world heavyweight champion Gunther said the following in response to criticism of Logan Paul…

“I think [Logan Paul] is a great addition for us. He’s a crazy athlete and he picked it up really quick. I don’t think his aspirations are to be the best wrestler in the world and he doesn’t need to. I get there’s some sentiment towards the outsiders, but if you get offered that private jet and private locker room, none of you would turn it down. Come on guys.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Gunther confirmed that he signed a new contract with WWE and a new tour bus was part of the deal.
