The lie entered the ring into the crowd as the Yette Nation cheerleader waved the flag down the long entrance ramp towards the square circle. The fans chanted “Yett,” and the music rang through the whole thing, and we went with Us. Allegiant Stadium.

Gunther was all business. As he said Fox News Digital From the beginning, he was pleased to be a company “party pooper.” There were no special fireworks and there were no changes in his music or ring outfits. Gunther was still as confident as ever to hold the world’s heavyweight title.
“Ring General” had fans behind him when they exchanged chants for “Let’s Go” for the Austrians.
USO was clearly a loser who took part in a match that hadn’t beaten Gunther yet. The winner of the Royal Rumble dates back from an unfortunate defeat, betting his claim for the championship.
USO was caught off guard several times to start the match, but it was clear that Gunther’s ring presence would be a key element throughout the match. Chops, chops, and many more chops knocked down the USO, even going through the rope and unplugged it from the ring. Gunther played the crowd and seemed to energize the boos.
Gunther kept the lie at the horn pace, and hit after the blow with his power style feat. The match began to change a bit when USO attacked Gunther with his spear.
Gunther caught USO at one point. He set him up for a quick power bomb and pin, but USO was kicked out. USO had to dig deeper to get back into the match. Hurricane Lana, spear, and frog splash may have done the trick.

Lie made a cover – one, two… no. Gunther kicked out just before the 3 count. Exhausted Gunther got even more heated as he tried to leave with his belt. USO attempted a suicide dive to keep Ref out of the way, but Gunther slammed him with the belt.
Still, the USO is not fixed. Gunther then rolled the USO into the sleeper hold. Still, I will not quit USO. He showed tenacity, begging for more chops, and pleading for whatever other gunthers left him.
Gunther thought the lies were lined up on another power bomb, but the lies retorted. He then slammed the gunser with his own power bomb, followed by a super kick and a splash of three frogs. Instead of pinning him, Lie put Gunther in the sleeper.
