The latest episode of Raw featured the main event match between two long-time rivals, Gunther and Sheamus. In chapter 3 of their saga, The Celtic Warrior was once again unable to defeat his toughest rival and got eliminated from the King of the Ring tournament. After suffering the battle scars of a hellacious battle, the veteran doesn’t look forward to meeting his adversary once again. 

Sheamus took to X and shared a picture of himself, looking in immense pain after his match against The Ring General. His caption implied that he wouldn’t want to face Gunther anymore. In a total of three one-on-one matches between them, the Irish-born wrestler had lost all of them.

Regardless of how close he was to winning the title in his first two matches, it hurt more when the 36-year-old star tapped out in his latest match on Raw. Wrestling fans all over the world sent heartwarming wishes to him for still delivering banger matches despite just returning from a serious injury. Previously, The Celtic King thanked doctors for making his in-ring return possible.

At one point in the match, the Irish-born wrestler slightly gained the upper hand over the former Intercontinental Champion. However, momentum soon swung in Gunther’s favor as his right-hand man brutally targeted Sheamus’ knees. Bearing pain like a true warrior, he even took off his knee pad and continued fighting. However, the 36-year-old star seized the opportunity to defeat him by applying the Boston crab to inflict more pain.

What I just said what today's one of those where everything worked out just as planned. Thank You.
