In a striking display of agility and strategy, not only did GUNTHER successfully defend his World Heavyweight Championship title at Saturday Night’s Main Event, but he also managed to elicit admiration and recognition from those backstage.
By proving triumphant against opponents Damian Priest and Finn Balor, in the showcased event, this marked the fourth time the Austrian wrestler had broadcasted his golden defense on television.
During the charged match, GUNTHER remarkably handled a powerbomb on Priest. Despite the unfavourable circumstance where Priest’s feet got trapped on the steps, GUNTHER demonstrated quick thinking to save the segment.
