They traded heavy blows and signature moves with incredible intensity, delivering a match worthy of “Match of the Year” consideration. To ensure a fair fight, the referee ejected Ludwig Kaiser from ringside after he attempted to interfere.
The match reached its climax when GUNTHER applied a half-Boston crab to Sheamus’ already injured leg, igniting “This is Awesome” chants from the crowd.
Despite fighting valiantly through the pain, Sheamus was eventually forced to submit, giving GUNTHER the victory. With this win, GUNTHER progresses in the King of the Ring tournament, taking a significant step towards claiming the coveted title in Saudi Arabia.
