GUNTHER beats Royce Keys to win back his WWE title match against Cody Rhodes

Last week on SmackDown, GUNTHER made one of the dumber decisions I can recall in kayfabe when he didn’t sign a contract for a WWE title match against Cody Rhodes on May 31 at Clash In Italy.

The Ring General doubled down on that stupidity on tonight’s (May 15) episode, which opened the door for Royce Keys to take the title shot away from him. GM Nick Aldis set up a SmackDown main event match of GUNTHER vs. Keys, with the winner getting to sign the contract to fight Rhodes in Italy.

GUNTHER ultimately didn’t pay the price for being a big dummy. That’s because Solo Sikoa showed up late in the match and slid a steel chair to Royce after a ref bump. Keys used that moment to decline Solo’s offer to join MFT by throwing the chair right back in his face. That distraction was all GUNTHER needed to get the jump on Keys and put him away with the powerbomb.

GUNTHER is headed to ITALY.
