Gunther returned on Raw last night after several weeks of
absence and attacked Seth Rollins, setting up a match for
WrestleMania between the two.
Rollins was announced as medically cleared to compete by Raw
General Manager Adam Pearce during an in-ring segment
involving also Paul Heyman. Rollins stormed the ring and
attacked Heyman with a chair before setting him up for a
curb stomp. But out of nowhere, The Ring General showed up
and locked Rollins in a sleeper hold, putting the former
champ to sleep.
Gunther then grabbed Rollins again and pointed at the
WrestleMania sign hanging from the rafters, making the
challenge for the show. Adam Pearce made the match official
later in during the broadcast.
These two had two different opponents originally set for
WrestleMania. Gunther was supposed to take on Rey Mysterio,
but Mysterio remains injured. Rollins was also supposed to
wrestle Bron Breakker, but Breakker is also not cleared yet
following hernia surgery.
