WATCH: Gunther receives medical attention after an unintentional headshot from Ricochet during SmackDown

Gunther has held the Intercontinental Championship for a long time. If he continues at the same pace, he is sure to hold it for even longer. However, the recent SmackDown episode wasn’t a great one for him. Unintentionally, ‘The Ring General’ got a headshot from Ricochet during the match.

The Imperium had gathered in the ring for a promo which was interrupted by Braun Strowman. Braun seemed clearly upset with Gunther holding the title and wanted to assert his dominance over him. However, the Imperium members couldn’t bear the insult, and Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci went ahead to quiet a brawling Strowman.

As the men brawled amongst themselves, Ricochet ran down the ramp to the ring with a steel chair in his hand. As he swung the chair at everyone who came in his way, he went towards Gunther, who tried to jump out of the ring to escape the attack. But, ‘The Ring General’ was late and Ricochet’s move hit him on the head.

The voice made it clear that the hit had been a serious one for the Intercontinental Champion. As the WWE officials went ahead to check on him, the referee took out a glove, indicating that Gunther had been busted open. Fans can see the entire unexpected event

After Ricochet’s blow, the intensity of the impact was felt by the audience. Everyone knew Ricochet did not intend to hit Gunther with the chair. The referees took no time to assist the IC Champion outside the ring and call for the medical team. Several other angles showed the medical team examining the ring general for injuries.

A Twitter user took to his account and shared a different viewing angle. The video shows the medical team checking Gunther for any possible injuries. The team also assisted the WWE star backstage. As he kept a cloth piece on his head, the fans were quite worried about his well-being.

The impact of the injury was grave and very risky. Ricochet certainly did not want the chair to hit him in such a manner. The injury was caused by both Gunther and Ricochet, who failed to match the timing, resulting in the headshot. However, everyone prays for the well-being of the champ before his big title match against Braun Strowman two weeks from now.
