"I'm coming for you" - WWE star puts Randy Orton on notice
Randy Orton's match against World Heavyweight Champion, Gunther at WWE Bash in Berlin on August 31 will determine whether he will switch brands. If he does not manage to put away The Ring General, it appears there is a wrestler on Friday Night SmackDown who is looking to hunt him down.
In an interview with TV Insider, former WWE Tag Team Champions, Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano (DIY) were asked about their recent pranks on The Legend Killer, which went viral on social media. Ciampa had been trying repeatedly to hit an RKO on Orton but to no avail.
Gargano claimed that the story with the 44-year-old was not over. Ciampa added to it, saying, "I'm coming for you," and that he would continue to do so until The Viper was dead, issuing a warning to the 14-time world champion.
"It’s not finished yet until he is dead. I’m coming for you 'Legend Killer!' I’m coming for you," Ciampa stated.
Ciampa has come a long way from his first WWE appearance in 2005 at the age of 20. While his comments were clearly playful, a feud between him and Randy Orton is certainly one that fans would be interested in.
Gunther has some strong words about his challenger at WWE Bash in Berlin
World Heavyweight Champion, Gunther cut a scathing promo on Randy Orton last week. He claimed that The Legend Killer's family, who has for long been associated with the wrestling business, had all messed up. The Ring General thereafter duly wound up on the receiving end of an RKO.
During an interview with Jim Varsallone of the Miami Herald, Gunther once again went after Orton. The Ring General acknowledged the 14-time world champion's greatness but said that the latter had "wasted a lot of potential" in WWE when he could have done better.
"Randy's career is undeniable. But on the other hand, we've got to be honest here, he was destined to be the greatest of all time, and with all the bad decisions he made in his career and all the issues he had he still is one of the greatest. But he wasted a lot of potential and I'm not in the business of wasting potential," Gunther said.
After dethroning Damian Priest at SummerSlam, the new World Heavyweight Champion has immense confidence heading into his match against Randy Orton. Could it prove detrimental for the Austrian star in Germany? Only time will tell.
