Gunther has been a cornerstone for WWE television programming for the last two years. The Ring General had a remarkable run on Nxt UK, Nxt, and the main roster, spending almost 80% of his WWE tenure as a champion. However, things went sour for The Ring General this past week at WrestleMania.

On Night 1 of WrestleMania 41, Gunther defended his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Jey Uso. The match was a huge back-and-forth contest between the two formidable rivals that saw Jey Uso dethrone him for the title by making Gunther tap out. This led to the Ring General suffering one of the most embarrassing losses of his career.

Moreover, he was also not happy with some remarks made by Michael Cole while calling his match. Gunther tried to attack him, which in turn led to a huge fiasco and a major situation with inside details emerging after WWE announced his suspension.
