Former WWE Champion Cody Rhodes recently shared a funny backstage story.
Rhodes revealed Gunther once mocked his Rolex during a conversation. The comment eventually convinced Rhodes to buy a much more expensive watch.
Speaking on What Do You Wanna Talk About? with Cody Rhodes, which featured Tom Brady, Rhodes joked that watch collecting has become a huge trend in WWE. He said, “I feel like I’ve seen the watch change, and I would call it the epidemic of watch culture has now taken over at WWE. This watch hobby can’t be good. It’s so expensive.”

Rhodes then recalled GUNTHER stopping by his locker room. He was wearing a Rolex GMT “Batman” during the conversation.
“And there’s a lot of, ‘Oh, you just put the money on your wrist.’ Oh, there’s a guy. Gunther came into my room the other day to talk to me about something that was going on.”
“We were having a really nice discussion, and I had a GMT on, I had a Batman seems like a pretty cool watch. Yeah, I like it. It’s a good watch. And as he left, he said, ‘Hey, you’re the champ. When are you gonna get a big boy watch?'”
Tom Brady quickly defended Rhodes’ choice.
“That is a big boy watch, man.” However, Rhodes admitted Gunther’s comment stayed with him. He later joined the WWE star during a Rolex appointment.
“That’s what I thought,” Rhodes replied. “Oh yeah, I love that one. This is all new information. I piggybacked off his Rolex AD appointment in Rome, went with him and I picked up this Sky-Dweller here. But I had to. You called me on it, right? And that’s why I think it’s maybe a dangerous hobby.”
