We are back and the World Champion, Gunther makes his way to the ring.
We are told that Ilja Dragunov suffered an injury over the weekend and it is possibly an ACL injury.
Gunther says life as the World Champion has been fantastic. He says he loves everything about being champion. The money, the luxuries, and the amenities. He says he hates having to deal with Sami Zayn every week. He says he couldn't ask for anyone more annoying than Sami.
Sami makes his annoying (but allowed under Kevin Owen's Rules) appearance on the stage.
Sami tells Gunther if you find it so annoying dealing with him every week, there is an easy way to put this to an end. Sami says all Gunther has to do is give him what he keeps asking for and put your title on the line. You won't do it, will you? Sami says he knows why and he wants Gunther to tell him why he won't do it. He tells Gunther to admit it.
Gunther says he tried to tell Sami and he tried to beat it into him. He says Sami is not on his level.
Sami asks if he is not on Gunther's level, how did he beat Gunther at Wrestlemania. Sami says that Gunther beat everyone else, but he pinned Gunther. Sami says it drives you crazy because you think you are better than him. Sami says if it was him versus Gunther, you are afraid that it will happen again.
Gunther looks around and he tells Sami he is right. He says he is afraid. He isn't afraid of Sami. He is afraid for his reputation. After all of those legendary things he did as IC Champion, losing to the better man would have been fine, but he lost to Sami. He was so busy embarrassing Sami in front of his family, but that is what Sami did to him. Gunther says he brought his family to Wrestlemania but he didn't parade them around for sympathy. After it was done, he had to look his father in the eye. He says his father asked him why did he fly from Vienna to Philadelphia to watch him lose to that bum Sami Zayn. Gunther says he doesn't expect Sami to understand because Sami's family expects him to lose and they expect nothing from. Gunther says his family expects everything from him because he is the Golden Goose. He is something Sami will never be, the World Champion.
Sami says his family has watched him lose and get knocked down many times. Sami says he picks himself back up and he moves forward. What did you do when you lost in front of your family? You crumbled. Did you ask him or Adam Pearce for a rematch. You ran away and hid. You left WWE TV for months. You didn't show your face because you couldn't. All because your dad made you feel like a loser. You are showing your dad that his son is a coward.
