In a recent episode of Six Feet Under with Mark Calaway, he expressed enthusiasm for Gunther’s World Heavyweight Title win at SummerSlam. However, he also spotlighted another wrestler – Ludwig Kaiser.
“I had a great conversation with Ludwig Kaiser while I was there,” Calaway shared. “I’m really high on him. Keep an eye on him; I think he’s going to be special.”
Calaway found it refreshing that Kaiser was receptive to his advice, indicating that he has been waiting for a chance to shine beyond Gunther’s shadow.
Calaway didn’t stop there; he also praised Rhea Ripley, Dominik Mysterio, and Damien Priest for their performances.
Kaiser, who has been a key player in Gunther’s Imperium faction since its NXT UK days, has evolved into an effective heel in their Raw persona. His calculated cheating and strong ring skills have made him a remarkable character to watch.
Though he hasn’t captured an individual championship yet, fans believe it’s only a matter of time before he gets his shot, especially as others like Ilja Dragunov and Sheamus have made waves in the Intercontinental Championship scene.
