Raw General Manager Adam Pearce has announced a storyline suspension for former WWE World Heavyweight champion Gunther.
Gunther attacked Raw ring announcers Michael Cole and Pat McAfee on the broadcast a few days ago, and while Cole returned to commentary, McAfee missed the rest of the broadcast after he was choked out for a long time.
“Your actions were reprehensible and disgusting. You will never again put your hands on a member of my announce team, because there ain’t no heat in beating up an announcer,” the Raw General Manager said in a video posted on social media. “You’re frustrated because you lost the World Heavyweight Championship to Jey Uso and I get that. But if you want to blame somebody, then park your ass in front of a mirror and ask the person staring back at you.”
Pearce said that Gunther has been suspended indefinitely and also fined a sum of money.
