World premiere
Historic triumph for Viennese wrestler Gunther
Five days ago, Gunther put himself in position for his biggest challenge in the billion-dollar wrestling league WWE with a victory against Finn Balor. On Sunday night, the Viennese set an exclamation mark in the Cleveland football stadium, which meant a world premiere ...
57,791 spectators witnessed Gunther keep defending champion Damian Priest in his headlock, forcing the local hero to tap out after 16:40 minutes and becoming the first German-speaking wrestler to be crowned World Heavyweight Champion in history.
"It was a wild exchange," smiled Gunther despite the deep red marks on his maltreated chest. In the end, it was Balor of all people who saved him, stabbing his team partner Priest in the back by pulling the Austrian's leg onto the rope from the outside, thus preventing Gunther's impending defeat.
Now with only one major title up for grabs - that of Undisputed Champion, which remains Cody Rhodes - the crowd favorite was joined by former nemesis Roman Reigns, who put Cody's opponent Solo Sikoa out of action with a Spear.
