Gunther’s reign as the WWE Intercontinental Champion already cemented him as an all-time great in the company but he is determined to win the King of The Ring tournament as well. He’s now in the finals and will be squaring off against Randy Orton and he has now vowed to become a legend.

On the May 24 episode of WWE SmackDown, it was confirmed that Gunther will face Randy Orton in the finals of the King of the Ring tournament at WWE King and Queen of the Ring. Orton earned his spot in the finals by defeating Tama Tonga.

In a SmackDown Exclusive, Gunther shared his thoughts on the upcoming match against Randy Orton. The Ring General made it abundantly he would become a legend by defeating Randy Orton at King & Queen of The Ring.

“I sure will face Randy Orton tomorrow in the finals, and what an opportunity it is, right? What a chance. I came here to do this. I came here to be in the ring with the best of the best, and Randy is maybe one of the biggest legends that ever came out of WWE. But to become a legend myself, I gotta beat a legend tomorrow, and yeah, tomorrow, ‘The Ring General’ will officially become the King of the Ring.”
