Gunther

More and more of the fan base vocalized the fact that they didn't believe that Sami Zayn was gonna win.

More and more of the fan base, after all the success that Sami Zayn has had, beating Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship, being the NXT World Champion, going to, to, to WrestleMania and winning the Tag Team Championship with Kevin Owens in the main event after all the success, the Bloodline, everything.

Sami's still walking around like he was the underdog.

It was, it was, well, it, it was becoming something that people didn't buy anymore.

That match hasn't been announced, but not only is it logical, it's the one that I've, I've read a lot of people wanna go, "Well, this has to be where it's all going." And I mean, when you look at it, right, we have Johnny Gargano, who insisted to Sami Zayn that he get the next shot.

You have Finn Bálor, who's asking Nick Aldis for the next shot at the WWE championship.

You have Gunther, who's been asking for a shot at the WWE championship.

You have Randy Orton, who starts the show by saying, "Nobody better get in my way of becoming 15-time WWE champion." You have Cody Rhodes, who's gonna do a sit-down with Michael Cole or whoever it was next week on SmackDown to, I guess, clarify where he's at right now after everything that went down on Sunday night's main event.

"Oh, stop biting." Everyone has.

"Gunther, Gunther, you're so nibbly."

[laughs] So, so he comes back to like get him, but this guy's not leaving.

He's still just like wandering around.

Oh, lord.

This was definitely the full supply.

"Gunther, you've nibbled away the cocaine." [laughs]

And yeah, he didn't...

This

is why Gunther is so valuable to WWE because that is the number one heel.

He's a Bond villain and doesn't get cheers.

He gets boos and he's all good with it and just makes fun of people and talks about people, wrestlers' wives.

Yeah, WWE booking.

I

mean, they're not going to pull the trigger on a Dan Housen-Gunther match.

Yes, they will.

They're getting there for sure.

I just need to see some bigger steps from, from Cooley and, and Gunther, and have Sergachev looking like a bad number 1D again instead of a bad number 2-3D.

Hmm.

Well, here's the, the bull case.

And I know he came back and wasn't 100%, and they were kind of slow-playing him.

And we saw in the playoffs they finally started playing him 20 minutes a night in that series against the Golden Knights.

But if you just add a couple more minutes per game to, to him and Gunther and have a-

Mm

Um, And I think it's really illustrated when you see stuff like, I always say this is a huge sign.

So they put, they give, you know, Walter Gunther.

I always call, I'll call him Walter forever though.

They give him this big push.

The NXT Levesque booking was the same way as well.

So I'm not entirely surprised that things have gotten slow, but I am surprised that, like you said, there doesn't seem to be any movement in these guys.

And Gunther is a great example of...

He's not even that young, but he's at least somewhat new.

It's a... what do you call it, a Nick Aldis situation.

He came out to face Gunther and now he's gone back to his boss stuff.

He's going to go back, sit behind the desk on commentary, doing all the translations and whatever, and also sit back in the general manager's office where those very, very totally real press conferences happen.

Omos is going to kill him.

Like lately, everyone is mad at him.

Sammy says, Gunther feels like Gunther is the victim, but Sammy is the victim.

He's the one that was robbed.

He should still be WWE's Undisputed Champion.

he's just asking for the opportunity to get back what was stolen from him,

the Undisputed WWE Championship.

that's it but he has jumped through obstacles he says gunther was the triple threat match to be the number one contender and he wasn't even included sammy tells gunther to get real comfortable because that is the future of smackdown no number one contender match no easy ride for anyone not for gunther finn bell or kevin owns if he doesn't sleep no one sleeps if he doesn't eat no one eats gunther says you're done off if zane won't get in the ring he'll go drag him to the ring Gunther jumps the barricade and Sammy says he's not cleared.

Out comes Finn Balor between the fans next to Sammy.

Sammy could take it.

I feel like Gunther could take it.

I don't know about Finn.

I feel like Kevin Owens could take it.
