A popular WWE star shared a hilarious reaction to Gunther trolling fans during last night's episode of RAW in Ontario, California. The 37-year-old is currently in a rivalry with Sami Zayn on the red brand.
Sami Zayn has been trying to get Gunther to accept his challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship in recent weeks but to no avail. Zayn defeated Ludwig Kaiser last night on RAW in a singles match, and The Ring General delivered a promo following the bout.
The leader of Imperium made it seem like he was going to defend the World Heavyweight Championship last night on RAW, but once again declined the challenge.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
The World Heavyweight Champion shared the clip of himself trolling the WWE Universe last night on RAW, and Wade Barrett responded by praising the champion.
"🤣🤣🤣 brilliant work from the big man 👏🏻," he wrote.
Gunther put together a historic reign as Intercontinental Champion and held the title for 666 days. However, he was dethroned by Sami Zayn at WrestleMania XL earlier this year.
Bron Breakker defeated Zayn at SummerSlam last month to capture the Intercontinental Championship but lost the title to Jey Uso in the main event of last night's episode of WWE RAW.
Vince Russo criticizes WWE's booking of heels
Wrestling legend Vince Russo recently questioned how WWE is using Gunther on WWE RAW, and criticized his storyline with Sami Zayn.
Speaking on this week's episode of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW show, the veteran noted that the champion's heat with the crowd at the moment is that he won't give a title shot to Zayn. Russo claimed that heels in the company do not have heat, and used The Judgment Day as an example.
"No heels have heat. Gunther's heat is that he won't give Sami Zayn a match. That's his heat bro. No heels in this company have any heat whatsoever. None, not a single one of them bro. They beat Judgment Day, they beat Judgment Day who's supposed to run this place." [From 8:18 onwards]

Sami Zayn has already proven he has what it takes to defeat the World Heavyweight Champion. It will be interesting to see if Zayn eventually gets a title shot in the weeks ahead.
