Randy Orton comments on his upcoming bout against Gunther.
Randy Orton is set to challenge Gunther for the WWE World Heavyweight Title at WWE Bash In Berlin in a rematch of their King of the Ring final, which had a disputed finish as the ref counted three despite Orton's shoulder being up.
This will mark Gunther's first title defense after winning the belt from Damian Priest at WWE SummerSlam.
Speaking to Alex McCarthy & Luke Power of DailyMail, Orton commented on the upcoming bout.
"The fact that we’ve been able to touch already in Saudi at the King of the Ring in the finals there, it just makes me even more confident that we’ll really have great chemistry, like I already know that we’re going to have great chemistry. So knowing that going in, and knowing how important this match is, not only for him, but for me too.
"I’m always out there feeling like I have something to prove. I haven’t had a Main Event PLE match at almost four years. I didn’t realize it had been that long, plenty of PLE since then, but not one of this caliber. So yeah, the crowd is going to be hot and this is going to be a big night. I would love to see us main event this show.
"But I know Cody and Kevin, that’s a big, big match too, but you've got a couple good guys in there beating the sh** out of each other. I think me and Gunther should close the night. And I think that it’s going to go down in history is, whether or not I win or lose. People will be talking about this match for a long time, and I know that, because Gunther is such an amazing talent."
