Gunther settles in the ring with the same big-ass(ed) smirk on his face and soaks in the boos, which ultimately transition to loud “You tapped out!” chants aimed at him, addressing the aforementioned controversy from last week where he tapped to Styles’ calf-crusher despite the referee not seeing it.
“The Ring General” declares for the Royal Rumble coming up, and gloats about his past showing in the match where he lasted over an hour. As he continues to try and gloat, he is cut off by the theme for AJ Styles. Styles calls him out for a match at Royal Rumble.
Gunther says he just declared and doesn’t plan on pulling double duty, so his answer is no. Styles says it sounds like he’s scared. Fans chant again that Gunther tapped out. Styles says they both know he didn’t win, and only got his hand raised because Styles showed mercy.
Styles says he should have kept the calf crusher on until he ripped his leg off and beat him with the bloody end of it. He says everyone knows Gunther “tapped out like a little b*tch.” Fans chant “Little b*tch!” at him. Styles says if you’re scared, just admit it and they can each move on.
Gunther reiterates that there is nothing in it for him and because of that, his answer remains no. He then says there is something Styles can do. Styles says name it. Gunther tells Styles to put his career up. Fans chant no. Gunther says Styles can think about it.
He wants his answer by the end of the night. “Unless you’re a little bit scared.” He drops the mic and walks off to end the segment. Fans loudly chant “Little b*tch!” at Gunther as he walks off. Gunther’s theme plays again as he heads to the back.
