WWE officially suspends Gunther indefinitely after controversial attack on RAW
WWE Superstar Gunther has faced major repercussions for his actions on this week's episode of Monday Night RAW. The red brand's General Manager Adam Pearce recently suspended The Ring General.
After losing the World Heavyweight Championship against Jey Uso at WrestleMania 41, Gunther showed up furious on this week's RAW. The Ring General got into a heated argument with Michael Cole after the latter highlighted his submission loss. The Imperium leader tried to choke the legendary commentator, but Pat McAfee stood up for his colleague. McAfee ended up becoming a victim of The Ring General's vicious chokehold and had to be taken backstage for a medical checkup.
WWE's official X/Twitter handle recently posted a clip of RAW General Manager Adam Pearce. In the video, Pearce revealed that Pat McAfee and Michael Cole were okay and were preparing for next week's RAW. He also sent a warning to Gunther, calling his actions "reprehensible and disgusting."
"Good afternoon. By now, everyone has seen what happened on Monday between Gunther, Michael Cole, and Pat McAfee. First things first, Pat and Cole are okay. Pat's in Green Bay covering the NFL draft, and Cole's doing what he always does, preparing for Monday Night RAW in a Hall of Fame way. As for you, Gunther, your actions were reprehensible and disgusting. You will never again put your hands on a member of my announce team because there ain't no heat in beating up an announcer," he said.
Adam Pearce added that The Ring General was fined an undisclosed amount for his attack and was suspended indefinitely.
"You're frustrated because you lost the World Heavyweight Championship to Jey Uso and I get that, but if you wanna blame somebody, then park your a** in front of a mirror and ask the person staring back at you. After conferring with representation of all three men, Gunther has been fined an undisclosed amount and suspended indefinitely. Pat and Cole will be on RAW this Monday live in Kansas City, 8 Eastern, 5 Pacific, on Netflix. Thank you for your time," he added.
