Since joining WWE as part of NXT U.K., Gunther — formerly known as Walter — has proven to be one of the most dominant Superstars in sports entertainment. His reign as WWE United Kingdom Champion was record-setting, as was his 666 days spent as Intercontinental Champion. His World Heavyweight Championship defense against Jey Uso was considered one of the best matches at WrestleMania 41.

Here are five Topps cards that salute “The Ring General.”
