WWE Raw after Mania: Gunther attacks Pat McAfee
WWE Star Gunther Goes on Rampage After Losing World Heavyweight Championship
Following his devastating loss to Jey Uso at WrestleMania 41, WWE star Gunther was on a warpath during Monday Night Raw. The former World Heavyweight Champion got into a heated confrontation with play-by-play commentator Michael Cole, nearly putting him in a submission hold before being stopped by Cole’s partner, former NFL punter Pat McAfee.
But McAfee’s intervention only seemed to further enrage Gunther, who quickly turned his attention to the former punter and put him in a sleeper hold. Despite attempts by McAfee’s ESPN producers to intervene, WWE security had to step in to prevent further escalation. Gunther eventually released McAfee and made his way backstage, leaving chaos in his wake.
McAfee was unable to continue with the broadcast and was replaced by Joe Tessitore for the remainder of the show. Gunther’s actions were a clear indication of his frustration following his loss to Uso at WrestleMania 41, where he was forced to submit in a shocking defeat that cost him his championship.
In a pre-match interview with Fox News Digital, Gunther had expressed his satisfaction with being the “party pooper” of WWE, only to have his reign ended by Uso. The new World Heavyweight Champion, on the other hand, seemed unfazed by the backlash, embracing both love and hate as he celebrated his victory in Las Vegas.
The intense rivalry between Gunther and Uso has captivated WWE fans, with both superstars showcasing their aggression and determination in the ring. As the feud continues to unfold, the WWE Universe can expect more explosive confrontations and thrilling matches between these two formidable competitors.
