In the lead up to their highly anticipated match on WWE RAW, Sheamus has delivered a bold message to his opponent, Gunther, also reaching out to Giovanni Vinci in the process.
The upcoming King of the Ring tournament’s opening round on the May 6 episode of WWE RAW will feature a rematch between Sheamus and Gunther. This follows their previously lauded match at WWE Clash at the Castle 2022 where Gunther emerged victorious, successfully defending the WWE Intercontinental Championship.
After the match was announced during WWE Backlash, Gunther provocatively claimed that Sheamus was constantly in his shadow. In a fiery retort, Sheamus, the ex-world champion, declared that not only did he create Gunther’s success, but he is also ready to dismantle it. He targeted the apparent instability within Gunther’s faction and invited Giovanni Vinci to make contact with him.
Imperium, Gunther’s faction, recently experienced internal strife when Ludwig Kaiser ousted Vinci from the group; this reduced the once formidable team to a duo. It was during the WWE main roster debut at WWE Clash at the Castle 2022 that Vinci united with the pair.
The 2024 WWE Draft saw Vinci being allocated to SmackDown, further stirring the pot. The finalized rosters are due to take effect from May 6.
