Adam Pearce, general manager of “WWE Raw”, joined WWE’s official X (formerly known as Twitter) account and announced that former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Gunther has been fined and fined following his malicious attacks on Michael Cole and Pat McAfee in the latest episode of “Raw.”

Pierce was able to say this. “First, Pat and Cole are fine. Pat is in Green Bay, covering the NFL Draft. Cole is doing what he always does and preparing for raw Monday night. As for Gunther, your actions have been condemned, so your actions will never be touched on members of the presentation team again. I’ll get it, but if you want to blame someone, park your ass in front of the mirror and ask the person staring at you.
The reason Pierce puts extra emphasis on the word “indefinitely” is because Gunther is legally taking time out of WWE, and at the time of writing, Corey Hayes, who reports that “Ring General” has taken a break for a while, there’s nothing when Gunther comes back to TV, but it’s safe to say another showdown with McAfee will be his future.
Gunther asked for a break for a while, so he was stopped “indefinitely”.

Gunther has not left the ring since early 2022 when he began appearing full-time on “WWE NXT.” Moved to the main roster after Wrestlemania 38, he is a company staple and is regularly ranked among performers every year in most matches.
