The Imperium leader won the King of the Ring Tournament in May by defeating Randy Orton in the finals. However, The Viper's shoulders were not down during the cover and Triple H teased a rematch in a backstage interview with Byron Saxton.
The rematch will take place this Saturday at WWE Bash in Berlin when Randy Orton challenges the leader of Imperium for the World Heavyweight Championship.
Vince Russo claims WWE missed a chance to create a huge babyface against Gunther
Former WWE writer Vince Russo recently claimed that the promotion missed a chance to turn Ludwig Kaiser babyface against Gunther.
Ludwig Kaiser is a member of Imperium and lost to Randy Orton in the main event of last week's edition of RAW. Speaking on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Outlaws show, Russo claimed Kaiser could have become a fan favorite against the World Heavyweight Champion if the company put effort into the storyline.
"Bro, if they would have kept him, Chris, I'm telling you, because they're all over the freaking place, one week he's with Gunther, the next week he's not, they're all over the place," Russo said. "Bro, if they would have kept him tightly connected to Gunther, they could have made a huge babyface out of him, bro. But they don't. One week he's with him, the next week he's not." [5:35 – 5:58]
There will be a tournament beginning tonight to determine Bron Breakker's next challenger for the Intercontinental Championship. It will be interesting to see if Dragunov enters the tournament tonight on RAW.
