Following his World Heavyweight Championship victory over Jey Uso on Monday Night RAW, a defiant GUNTHER addressed those who doubted he would reclaim his title.
On the official Raw Recap podcast, the new two-time champion dismissed any surprise over his win and mocked online speculation that a different outcome was planned. There was speculation that Seth Rollins could cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase during the match or Goldberg could return to cost GUNTHER the title to set up their feud heading into a rumored Saturday Night’s Main Event bout.
“I don’t know what’s surprising about that,” GUNTHER said. “I guess going in, it got perceived as a little bit of a nothing match, just a ‘Mania rematch and everybody was speculating like, Seth Rollins is gonna do something with his briefcase, Goldberg is gonna show up to finally kick my ass. The reality is when I was World Heavyweight Champion the first time, all those big names, they stayed away from me, and for a very good reason.”
