On the latest bygone episode of WWE Raw, Orton and Gunther met face-to-face to exchange promos about their upcoming title match in Berlin, Germany. Gunther accused Orton of wasting all of his generational talent and that he was trying to be relevant in this new era, the era of The Ring General. Orton backfired by appreciating Gunther’s opinion but then proving his point of doing pretty good for himself.
