Ludwig Kaiser Says Split From Gunther Was a Joint Decision to Pursue His Own Path

He frames the move as a risk to bank on his skills in the U.S. system.

Overview

  • Kaiser said on the Kennt jeder podcast that both he and Gunther agreed to end their on-screen partnership.
  • He described Imperium’s WWE dynamic with Gunther as the focal point and himself in a supporting tag role, contrasting it with Ringkampf’s equal footing in wXw.
  • Kaiser explained that his role had been to enhance Gunther’s presentation but that he sought greater individual growth.
  • After a March loss to Penta and a subsequent hiatus, Kaiser was widely reported to return under the El Grande Americano persona and work AAA events including Triplemania 33.
  • Gunther has been off WWE television since losing the World Heavyweight Title at SummerSlam, and Imperium remains disbanded.
