Gunther is all set to defend his World Heavyweight Championship against Damian Priest at Survivor Series. The two stars have reignited their feud once again on Raw. Last night, The Ring General addressed his match with The Punisher, which soon turned into a war of words.
However, one thing that raised many eyebrows was the demeanor of the Austrian superstar by the end of the segment. Priest called out Gunther for being doubtful about himself following his loss against Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel. He claimed that the 37-year-old is underconfident ahead of their match at Survivor Series.
When Ludwig Kaiser came out to stand up for his teammate, the latter even shut him up. In fact, the World Heavyweight Champion looked uncomfortable while facing off The Punisher. Moreover, the Puerto Rican star tried his best to get under the skin of the Imperium leader.
He stated that Gunther’s aura had been down ever since he won the World Championship. Priest went on to say that Gunther doubts his own abilities to be a champion in the company. Therefore, he suffered a massive loss against Rhodes as well.
