Gunther starts off by saying that he doesn’t look back, he always looks ahead, and what’s ahead this time is Damian Priest . There’s a lot he has to say about him, but the former World Champion immediately interrupts to hear what the Austrian has to say, face to face. Damian Priest wants to hear what Gunther has to say, but he gets ahead of his speech because he knows he’s going to insult him. Priest admits that the first time he faced the Austrian he felt the fear that everyone else felt, but he knows that if it weren’t for Finn Bálor, he would still be World Champion. Since then, Damian has seen a Gunther full of doubts; the Austrian tries to answer, but can’t, partly because he’s interrupted by the crowd reminding him that he lost to Cody Rhodes.

Damian Priest says that Gunther has doubts because deep down he knows he can’t beat him. Priest suggests that the “Ring General” throw a punch, but he won’t dare to do it because he knows he’ll get beaten. But maybe that’s a good thing, since they could face each other right now instead of waiting until WWE Survivor Series 2024. Ludwig Kaiser interrupts! The German reminds Damian Priest that he already lost to Gunther once, and there’s nothing that makes him think the result won’t be the same; for that reason, he recommends that he leave right now. Gunther reprimands Kaiser for speaking in his place, but Ludwig is braver, since he won’t allow Priest’s “street trash” to disrespect him. Priest knocks Kaiser down with one punch! Gunther, with a face that denotes doubt and concern, has no choice but to retreat.
