Given his recent triumph over Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship at WWE SummerSlam held last Saturday in Cleveland, Gunther finds himself swiftly facing a titanic challenge.
At the commencement of this evening’s episode of Monday Night Raw, Gunther’s victory monologue was disrupted by Randy Orton, who immediately issued a challenge to the fresh champion for WWE Bash in Berlin.
Predicated on the notion that he’s the exclusive competitor who can genuinely rival Gunther, and the fact that The Viper’s shoulders were raised during their King of the Ring tournament’s final battle (the very match Gunther won the title shot), Orton sought to provoke Gunther’s pride. Recognizing a smeared victory isn’t in tandem with what The Ring General seeks, he acceded readily.

Gunther enters Berlin, wielding more than just an advantageous home ground. But confronting The Legend Killer requires a strategy exceeding this edge to emerge as the champ.
