WWE Superstar Gunther is among the most dominant performers on the roster. ESPN recently named Ring General the "Men's Wrestler of the Year."

In his most recent televised contest, the 37-year-old defended the World Heavyweight Championship against Damian Priest and Finn Balor in a Triple Threat match at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event. Gunther pinned The Judgment Day member to retain his title.

After a successful title defense at SNME, The Ring General put his championship on the line against The Archer of Infamy in a Steel Cage Match at a recent house show at the iconic Madison Square Garden. Gunther won the contest to continue his unbeaten run against the former Judgment Day member. Earlier today, the World Heavyweight Champion took to his X (FKA Twitter) account to share pictures from his match against Priest, referring to himself as the King of MSG:

"King of MSG," he said.

Gunther threatens to slap former WWE champion during recent event

During the recent RAW on Netflix Kickoff show, former United States Champion Logan Paul announced his arrival to the red brand ahead of the Netflix Premiere. He also expressed his desire to go after the World Heavyweight Championship.

Later in the event, Gunther shared his take on the 29-year-old. He praised the latter, referring to him as the jack of all trades. However, The Imperium leader further warned the social media star, stating if Logan were to set his sights on the World Heavyweight Championship, he would slap the ' stupid smirk off of his face:'

"He is obviously a very talented man athletically, but also in the entertainment world. He is the jack of all trades as they say. But I don't believe [the] World Heavyweight Champion is one of them. That being said, I think my English is pretty good. So, I'm going to make it even simpler. If Logan Paul thinks he can walk in here and take this [the title] away from me, if he ever makes it to the top of that line to challenge me for the World Heavyweight Championship, it will be my duty and my pleasure to slap the stupid smirk off of his face," he said. [From 52:02 to 52:43]
