Gunther Says THIS On Facing Randy Orton at WWE King and Queen Of The Ring PLE In Saudi Arabia
The Ring General and former Intercontinental champion, Gunther, has given his byte on The Viper Randy Orton. The two top stars will lock horns at the WWE King & Queen of the Ring PLE tournament finals, where one of them will be WWE's new King of the Ring.
In the semi-finals of the King of the Ring Tournament, Gunther beat Jey Uso on RAW last Monday and Orton beat Tama Tonga on SmackDown on Friday. This has set them up as finalists for the legendary tournament and they will face each other for the first time ever in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The match will take place tonight (May 25), after surviving a gruesome tournament featuring some of the top WWE superstars on the main roster.
What did Gunther say?
The Ring General was even present ringside during Orton vs Tama Tonga SmackDown semis to find out who his final opponent would be. He wanted a closer look at his potential final adversary for Saudi Arabia. When backstage interviewer Byron Saxton caught up with him for an interview, Gunther made a strong statement that he was going to become the King of the Ring at the PLE and beat a veteran WWE superstar like Randy Orton to achieve greatness.
He said, “Yes, I sure will face Randy Orton tomorrow in the finals. And what an opportunity it is, right? What a chance. I came here to do this, I came here to be in the ring with the best of the best, and Randy is maybe one of the biggest legends that ever came out of WWE, but to become a legend myself, I gotta beat the legend tomorrow. And yeah, tomorrow, The Ring General will officially become the King of the Ring," (0:19-0:51)
