Raw General Manager Adam Pearce has announced a storyline
suspension for former WWE World Heavyweight champion
Gunther.
Gunther attacked Raw ring announcers Michael Cole and Pat
McAfee on the broadcast a few days ago, and while Cole
returned to commentary, McAfee missed the rest of the
broadcast after he was choked out for a long time.
“Your actions were reprehensible and disgusting. You will
never again put your hands on a member of my announce team,
because there ain’t no heat in beating up an announcer,” the
Raw General Manager said in a video posted on social media.
“You’re frustrated because you lost the World Heavyweight
Championship to Jey Uso and I get that. But if you want to
blame somebody, then park your ass in front of a mirror and
ask the person staring back at you.”
Pearce said that Gunther has been suspended indefinitely and
also fined a sum of money.
