Gunter, the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, was again seen in action, this time defending his championship. After SmackDown went off-air, Gunther faced Otis in a thrilling title encounter. This unexpected match has got the attention of all the members of the WWE Universe around the globe.
The match was held at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Otis, who is known for his heavyweight character and personality, was also the hometown boy last night. The fans cheered him on as he competed to capture his first World Title. He was clearly seen pushing Gunther to the limit.
During the match, The Ring General’s experience and technical ability prevailed in the end. He fought out of multiple sleeper holds and also delivered a series of chops to the challenger.
The main moment of the match came when Otis, after performing his iconic worm dance, threw Gunther off the turnbuckle and landed a massive elbow drop. At that moment the crowd was convinced that he was going to capture his first World Championship. However, Gunter ended up kicking out of that move.
Gunther’s reign as World Heavyweight Champion has only grown stronger over the past few months. He has prevailed against multiple challengers, and it seems like he will not be dropping the championship anytime soon.
