Powell’s POV: To make a long story short, Levesque said the referee’s decision is final and Gunther is King of the Ring. He added that it’s a match that he wants to see again and he feels that both men will eventually want to run it back. For those who missed the show, one of Orton’s shoulders was off the mat when Gunther pinned him.
Graves acknowledged it on air and now HHH makes a statement.
Seems like Paul’s old friend Randy will have a legit grievance and potentially they could spin the frustration into a heel turn if Orton wants to try that one more time.
