Luck was on Gunther's side.
In the main event of the May 20 episode of WWE Raw, Gunther defeated Jey Uso to advance to the finals of the King of the Ring tournament. He advances to the finals at WWE King and Queen of the Ring, where he will face the winner of the semi-final match between Randy Orton and Solo Sikoa on the May 24 episode of WWE SmackDown.
In a Raw Exclusive, Gunther commented on his win.
"It was a close call tonight. I think Jey actually had me, if the ref wouldn't have collided with me. It's bad luck for him, it's a lot of luck for me. But sometimes, you gotta earn luck, and I'm earning luck ever since I stepped foot in this company. Looking forward to the finals, it's either Randy Orton or Tama Tonga. Randy is obviously one of the biggest names to ever step foot in a WWE ring. Tama Tonga is still very new to this company, but [he] had a decade-long career in Japan. What they have in common, whoever faces me, they never, ever stepped in the ring with somebody like The Ring General. So Saudi Arabia, I'm very excited to come to Saudi Arabia, and all of you will experience when The Ring General graces the ring in the holy land," Gunther said.
