The crowd in Jeddah was absolutely thunderous for Randy, and it was wild to actually see how big he was compared to Gunther, who himself is massive.
Gunther took the win after kicking out of an RKO and rolling up Orton, although it was clear that only one of Randy’s shoulders were actually on the mat.
