Finn Balor has been waiting for what feels like an eternity to get his hands on the Ring General, Gunther, and challenge him for the World Heavyweight Championship. On the latest episode of WWE RAW, Balor finally got his chance to confront Gunther, alongside his associate Dominik Mysterio. The air was thick with tension as Balor and Mysterio entered the ring, Balor demanding a title match against Gunther with unwavering conviction. However, Gunther had other plans, refusing Balor’s request and instead offering Mysterio a chance to face him.

The ensuing match between Mysterio and Gunther was an intense and thrilling affair, with Mysterio displaying his incredible skill and determination to take down the champion. Despite landing a low blow, two 619s, and a frog splash, Mysterio was unable to secure the pinfall, ultimately leading to Gunther’s victory. The outcome was met with disappointment from Mysterio and Balor, who were left fuming at the unjust result.

Balor’s pent-up frustration finally boiled over, and he launched himself at Gunther, delivering a vicious coup de grace. In a bold display of solidarity, Balor then instructed Mysterio to “watch and learn” before proceeding to inflict two more coup de graces on the World Heavyweight Champion. The brutal attack sent a clear message to Gunther: Balor will not be ignored any longer.
