Sami Zayn interrupts Gunther, asks for World Heavyweight title shot

It looks like Gunther has his next opponent for the World Heavyweight title after Sami Zayn interrupted his in-ring promo last night on Raw.

Earlier in the broadcast, CM Punk was gunning for Gunther’s title but he was once again attacked by Drew McIntyre, who laid him out and even forced the stretcher job.

With Punk out of the way, Zayn answered the call and came out to a thunderous pop from the Denver crowd.

Zayn is the last – and only – person to defeat Gunther on the main roster when he beat him for the Intercontinental title at WrestleMania earlier this year. The Canadian told Gunther that he wants the WWE World Heavyweight title and Gunther shot it down quick.

“I see the fire in your eyes. So if you really want a shot at this, if you really want this more than anything else, my answer…is no,” Gunther said, before smiling, dropping the mic, and exiting the ring.

Zayn wasn’t happy so he asked Gunther why he’s backing down from this fight when he never backed down from a fight his entire life. He reminder Gunther that he is the only guy who beat him inside a WWE ring.

“You can run, you can hide for as long as you want, but Gunther, make no mistake, I’m coming for you and I will be a World Heavyweight champion,” a fired-up Zayn said.
