GUNTHER Faces Off With Randy Orton
Ludwig Kaiser made his return in full gear to welcome back new WWE world heavyweight champion GUNTHER.
There were halfhearted chants of “you deserve it” for GUNTHER, followed by chants of “no you don’t!”
GUNTHER said he could never be caught off guard, which prompted Randy Orton to make a surprise appearance.
Randy Orton challenged GUNTHER for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Bash in Berlin, since Orton technically had his shoulder up when GUNTHER pinned him at King of the Ring in Saudi Arabia.
Ludwig Kaiser is in the ring, back from injury. Kaiser demands all gratitude for the new World Heavyweight Champion, “The Ring General” Gunther.
World Heavyweight Champion Gunther, dressed in a suit, makes his way to the ring. He gets in the ring and embraces Kaiser before posing with pyrotechnics behind him. The crowd is giving him a mixed reaction, but the boos begin to take over. Gunther smiles. The crowd then starts to chant, “You deserve it!” Gunther says, “My name is Gunther. I am the Ring General. I am the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion in history. I am the King of the Ring. And now I am your World Heavyweight Champion!” Tonight, a new legacy begins. This title and company have deserved more for a very long time. If they thought what he did with the Intercontinental Championship was historic, wait until you see what he does as the World Heavyweight Champion. In this ring, he is above everyone. He is ready and prepared for everyone and everything. There is nothing that can catch him off guard. He is greatness personified. From this day forth, Monday Night Raw and the legacy of this great business and sport, as well as the World Heavyweight Championship, belong to him.
“I HEAR VOICES IN MY HEAD…”
“The Viper” Randy Orton’s music hits, and he heads to the ring. The crowd loudly sings his music as he enters. Gunther defeated Randy Orton in the Finals of the King of the Ring Tournament in a controversial finish with Orton’s shoulder up during the pin to win the opportunity at the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam. A loud “Randy” chant fires up.
Gunther looks at Orton and says, “Well, Randy, I have to say that I was wrong because that caught me off guard.” The crowd laughs. Orton says he wanted to come out and congratulate him, but that’s not his style. That title does look good hanging over his shoulder. Orton says Gunther is a good-looking champion, but he can’t help but think he’s the reason Gunther is holding the title in the first place. Gunther got his title shot at SummerSlam because he beat Orton at King of the Ring, but did Gunther really beat him? The crowd gasps. The people know it, Orton knows it, and even Triple H knows it. Orton’s shoulders weren’t flat on the mat for the pinfall. It’s the referee’s decision and is final. Orton has to respect that fact. Triple H saw the footage and knows there needs to be a Gunther vs. Orton sequel. Triple H told the world that there would be a part two. That’s exactly why Orton is here. Orton is calling it in. Orton is the only man who can match Gunther in the ring, move for move, chop for chop, counter for counter, technician vs. technician, smooth vs. smoother. These fans deserve a modern-day Flair vs. Steamboat. Orton knows he can fulfill those roles. The only question is if Gunther can. Gunther calls himself a living legend, which is fine. Orton made a career out of killing legends. At Bash in Berlin, he’ll do it again and walk out of Germany, Gunther’s home country, the new World Heavyweight Champion.
