Michael Cole was part of the opening segment on RAW tonight with a top champion, but it was completely hijacked when the star in question, Gunther, went on a scathing rant.
A visibly frustrated Gunther told Michael Cole that Jey Uso was full of cr*p. The second the crowd began chanting "Yeet!" and told Cole, "screw your questions" before telling the fans to do the same.
The Ring General declared himself a gift to WWE, pointing out the fact that he has been a Champion for 80% of his tenure with the company. He called himself the greatest World Champion.
He mentioned the fact that when all is said and done, the bell has to ring, so it makes no difference how much confidence he has, as he will defeat Jey for the fourth time.
He rubbed in the fact that a couple of weeks ago, he had bathed in Jimmy Uso's blood and claimed he would do the same to Jey Uso. He said that he never lost control, but every word that was said to Michael Cole and the crowd indicated a person who had no control over their emotions.
Gunther finished the promo by saying he couldn't wait to call his mother to let her know the destruction he had unleashed on Jey Uso. Cole appeared visibly confused by everything.
