That is the first match I completely disagree with the winner of. I absolutely do not believe Sami was the right choice to take down Gunther’s long-ass reign, it should have gone to somebody up and coming, who I don’t know, but not an established upper card star.
I feel the same way with the caveat that I can’t think of anyone in the short term that fits that bill and Gunther should also be moving up the card. Great match regardless, but I was rooting for Gunther to retain as well.
