GUNTHER and Randy Orton are on a collision course for another match, but this time, the stakes have been raised with a title on the line.
Their first encounter saw GUNTHER defeat Orton in the King of the Ring finals earlier this year. Unfortunately, there was controversy as Orton’s shoulder was up when the referee counted the pinfall.
Coming out of that show, Triple H said they would run it back when Orton was healthy. That is happening as GUNTHER is set to defend his WWE World Heavyweight Title against Orton at WWE Bash In Berlin next Saturday.
While speaking with DailyMail, Orton noted he thinks they will have a great match because of their natural chemistry and having a match against each other.
“I’m always out there feeling like I have something to prove. I haven’t had a Main Event PLE match at almost four years. I didn’t realize it had been that long, plenty of PLE since then, but not one of this caliber. So yeah, the crowd is going to be hot and this is going to be a big night. I would love to see us main event this show.”
Orton said, “But I know Cody [Randy] and Kevin [Owens], that’s a big, big match too, but you’ve got a couple good guys in there beating the sh** out of each other. I think me and GUNTHER should close the night. And I think that it’s going to go down in history is, whether or not I win or lose. People will be talking about this match for a long time, and I know that, because GUNTHER is such an amazing talent.”
Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes vs. Kevin Owens, Rhea Ripley & Damian Priest vs. Liv Morgan & Dominik Mysterio, and CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre in a Strap Match are also on the card.
