Man, Gunther really killed this promo, and Randy again eyeing the title.

[IncredibleFulk]

The voices in Orton’s head: “Not yet….”

[shawnmichaels]

Gunther proved that he is not only a phenomenal in-ring performer but also one of the best on the mic currently. One of the biggest examples of a complete package.

[sawalnuwa]

Aside Gunther's promo, the best part here is Randy taking the title. My inner childhood has wake up and said 'hi'.

[Jctrono]

Man, the eventual payoff of all this being an Orton heel turn.

I AM SEATED.

[ReroTv]

Randy vs Cody feud will be epic. So much history between them

[jaysheriffe]

This wasn't an ambush. Cody threw the first blow...This was a man coming to the defence of his boy.

[krystar-roddie]

Earlier tonight Authority/Evolution mode, now a Legacy mode. Orton gave me two good ol' memories twice in a row tonight.

[davenisawesome]

Love the little details that they tease here. How Randy picks up the title first before he goes to Cody. WWE knows we want it and it’s only a matter of time.

[locater]

"Gutless" Gunther pressed Rhodes button and broke it 😮😮, since turning face it's the first time in a long time someone caused Cody to take the first shot 😅

[chigozieukpabi]

Those chants prove that Randy is currently the GOAT of SmackDown idc

[Omentoki]

Gunther told no lies. He was 100% spot on in his assessment and that struck a nerve in Cody. The backdrop for a heel American Nightmare has been foreshadowed.

[krystar-roddie]

I find it hilarious when Orton reach out to WWE Title 1st instead of helping Cody get up 🤣

[craigj]

Its so great to see champions wearing suits reminds me of the evolution days and hurt business

[pcsea]

We all can smell RKO is coming for cody😂😂

[PaladinAldwin]

Randy Orton is keeping an eye on that title 👀

[kerazydog]

Gunther grabbed the mic and said EVERYTHING ive been thinkin about Rhodes 😭🙌🏿🔥

[tankboss]

“ News flash brotha” Cody definitely invited to the cook out

[cerebralsamurai]

Randy has never played second fiddle to anyone especially if a championship is involved

[master]

Champions must be look like Gunther and Cody. Respect to both men.
