<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Gunther: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, Wife and More</strong></h2>
<h2><b>Who is Gunther? </b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Walter Hahn is an Austrian professional wrestler best known by his ring name, Gunther. As of January 2019, he has signed up with WWE, where he works on the Raw brand. He is the Imperium faction’s leader and a previous Intercontinental Champion who held the title for the longest period of time. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">As a wrestler, Hahn has been frequently praised and acknowledged as one of the finest in the world by writers and other wrestlers. He is the first Austrian to compete for and win a championship in WWE.</span>
<h2><b>Gunther’s Early Life </b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Walter Hahn was born in Vienna, Austria, on August 20, 1987. He became interested in professional wrestling at an early age after he began collecting tapes. A friend of his had an outstanding collection of WWE Pay-Per-View events and Japanese wrestling shows that he let Gunther borrow. Since then, his enthusiasm for the sport has never waned. Hahn developed an interest in soccer at the same period, eventually becoming a goalkeeper, but around the age of 15, he stopped playing soccer and picked up wrestling, inspired by the Attitude Era.</span>
<h2><b>Gunther’s Wife and Children</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Hahn met Jinny Sandhu, an English professional wrestler, while they were competing on the independent circuit. The couple eventually fell in love and married in 2023 at a ceremony in London. On December 27, 2023, they welcomed their first child, a boy whose name they have not revealed yet.</span>
<h2><b>Gunther’s Net Worth 2024 (Update)</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">As per several sources, Gunther has an estimated net worth of $3 million as of 2024. His base salary as per his contract is $300,000 per year, subject to change with several bonuses and royalties. </span>
<h2><b>Gunther’s Career Timeline</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Gunther fought his first match in November 2005 in Switzerland. Between 2006 and 2012, Gunther wrestled many matches in Japan and Westside Xtreme Wrestling. During his stint with WXW, he was a part of many stables, including Catch Hoolz, The Mind, The AUTsiders, and the Ringkampf. Before his run with the WXW ended in 2019, he appeared in British &amp; Irish independent circuits, Fight Club PRO, Revolution Pro Wrestling, PROGRESS Wrestling, Over The Top Wrestling and Defiant Wrestling. He also fought in North American independent wrestling on EVOLVE and Pro Wrestling Guerilla. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">On January 12, 2019, Hahn made his unexpected WWE debut as Walter at NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool, facing then-NXT United Kingdom Champion (later WWE United Kingdom Champion) Pete Dunne at the event’s conclusion. After being revealed as a WWE signee, he joined the NXT UK brand and went on to win the NXT United Kingdom Championship at NXT Takeover: New York.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400"> He would reform Ringkampf in the WWE, who now donned the name Imperium. Walter’s reign of 870 days, which ended at NXT TakeOver 36 against Ilja Dragunov, was the longest for the now-defunct title.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">He moved to the NXT in 2022, where his name was eventually changed to Gunther. His run would not last long with them, as he was promoted to SmackDown in April 2022 and won the Intercontinental Championship in June. He would defend his belt many times over the year, with a critically acclaimed title defense against Sheamus. In the 2023 WWE draft, Imperium would move to Raw, taking the Intercontinental Championship belt with them. As the champion, Gunther created a record of 666 days, breaking The Honky Tonk Man’s record of 454 consecutive days and Pedro Morales’ 619 days held across two reigns. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Gunther defended his title against the likes of The Miz, Kofi Kingston, Drew McIntyre, and Jey Uso. His reign came to an end at WrestleMania XL, losing to Sami Zayn by pinfall. His loss at the event would also be his first pinfall loss in the WWE. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">After the event, Gunther announced that he would take part in the King of the Ring tournament. </span>
<h2><b>Gunther’s Partnerships and Endorsement </b></h2>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;font-size: 12pt">There is not much information available on Gunther’s partnerships and the endorsements he has amassed.</span></h2>
<h2><b>Gunther’s Investments </b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">From 2015 to 2020, Gunther was the co-owner of Ringkampf Apparel with Marcel Barthel and Axel Tischer. The clothing brand sponsored wrestlers like Timothy Thatcher, Killer Kelly, and Fabian Aichner from the Imperium stable. </span>
<h2><b>Gunther’s Career Stats</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Gunther has wrestled in a whopping 1109 matches in his career. He has achieved 684 victories (61.7%) and lost 398 bouts (35.9%). To accompany his impressive winning stats, he drew 27 matches (2.4%).</span>
