GUNTHER wasn’t in the mood to play games the night after WrestleMania 41—and Pat McAfee found that out the hard way.
During the RAW after WrestleMania at the T-Mobile Arena, newly crowned World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso kicked off the night with a major celebration. But things quickly turned dark when GUNTHER stormed the ring during a commercial break segment that felt completely unscripted.
The Ring General confronted Michael Cole and Pat McAfee at ringside, screaming in frustration after losing his title to Jey Uso at WrestleMania. Without warning, GUNTHER shoved Cole and then locked McAfee in a brutal chokehold. Even after being pulled off by WWE officials, GUNTHER returned to apply the hold again.
Fans in the arena responded with chants of “You tapped out,” throwing GUNTHER’s downfall back at him. McAfee, visibly shaken, was helped to the back by officials as the show came to a chaotic close.
This wasn’t just a meltdown—it was a message. GUNTHER may have lost his title, but his wrath is just beginning.
