GUNTHER & Damian Priest SegmentÂ
Jackie Redmond:Â GUNTHER, this Saturday, you will defend your World Heavyweight Championship against Damian Priest at Survivor Series. But before we get to that title defense, I actually want to start this interview by going back to what happened last week on Monday Night Raw, let’s take a look. GUNTHER, listen, your time in WWE has been nothing if not dominant, but ever since a rare lost to Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel, it feels like we’ve seen a different side of you. In fact, Damian Priest says, you’re no longer the confident champion we saw break records, and whose reputation is quite literally rooted in almost never losing. GUNTHER, what’s your response to what Damian had to say?
Damian Priest: By all means, don’t let me interrupt you. Tell the world what you’re going to do at Survivor Series. Let us know how easy it’s going to be. No? Nothing? I figured. Redmond, before you go, pass that microphone to GUNTHER. Let the champ talk, because I want to see if you grew a set this week and say it to my face. I see your face. I know you’re out here. You want us to believe that the old GUNTHER is back, but you and I both know, that’s not true. You used to have this huge aura, man, like, this killer vibe. I mean, you would step into this ring, and you would say anything you want to anybody, and they wouldn’t dare make a move on you. I don’t know what happened. Maybe the pressure of being the champion got to you. I guess I know something about being a champion. I guess I know a little bit about having that pressure. But you, you’ve had a lot of accomplishments in your life. I know why you’re the way you are, right now. Why all of sudden, you can’t talk, why you can’t act right. Because in your life, you’ve never had to deal with a problem like me. At Survivor Series, this problem is taking that championship. You know what’s wild to me? I wonder what happens to GUNTHER after Survivor Series? What happens to The Ring General when he loses to a guy from the streets? Oh, hey, my bad, this is your time, this is your interview time. By all means, the floor is yours, talk away.
GUNTHER clocks Priest with the microphone. GUNTHER transitions into a ground and pound attack. GUNTHER drops Priest with The Big Boot. GUNTHER dumps Priest out of the ring.
