On Saturday the King and Queen of the Ring were crowned and Gunther won the King of the Ring tournament when he pinned Randy Orton. However, many fans have pointed out that one of Orton’s shoulders was not on the mat when the referee counted the pin.
Following the King and Queen of the Ring premium live event Triple H addressed the controversial finish and stated that the referee’s decision is final. The Game then went on to tease a potential rematch for Gunther and Randy Orton at some point in the future.
“So, live, I was out there. From my vantage point, it was very difficult to see. Was in the ring, handed the crown to GUNTHER, very happy for him, incredible night, what a performance they both put on.
“Coming back here and seeing it back, look, I saw exactly what you saw, I saw what everybody saw, I saw what everybody is talking about. Didn’t even really seem controversial to me, it just seemed like Randy Orton’s shoulder wasn’t down.
“But, I’m gonna say this, the referee’s decision is final. GUNTHER is your King of the Ring. That being said, especially after what I saw tonight, I certainly wanna see that again. I think Randy Orton deserves to have another shot at that. And I think if I know anything about GUNTHER, he will want to have another shot at that, to take the controversy out, to take the asterisk off of the page where it says King of the Ring for him. I think he will want to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is better than Randy Orton.
“So I think, having seen Randy back here, he’s pretty banged up, both his knee and his back, I think it’s gonna be a moment or two before he is ready to step back into the ring with GUNTHER, but when he is, let’s go.”
