Fans seem to be far from pleased with Triple H and WWE after they booked a dream match at a recent Live Event. The bout in question is Gunther defending his Intercontinental Championship against Johnny Gargano at the show.
Gunther, along with his Imperium stablemates Giovanni Vinci and Ludwig Kaiser, was drafted to RAW in the 2023 Draft. As for Johnny Gargano, he reunited with his The Way stablemates, Indi Hartwell, Candice LeRae, and Dexter Lumis.
Considering both are on the same brand now, it was only a matter of time before they crossed paths. The Ring General defeated the former NXT Champion in nearly ten minute match at the recent Saturday Night's Main Event. Though many fans were hoping the bout would materialize on RAW, there's a chance WWE pitted the two because they are planning to kickstart a feud between them.
