WWE Superstar Chad Gable recently sent a message after once again failing to defeat Gunther. During the Stamford-based company's ongoing tour of the United Kingdom, the 38-year-old star was unsuccessful in his attempt to win the World Heavyweight Championship.

During Gunther's reign as the Intercontinental Champion, he successfully defended the title against Gable on several occasions, including house shows. However, the former RAW Tag Team Champion also managed to secure a rare victory over The Ring General, defeating him via countout on an episode of the red brand.

Following Gable's latest encounter with Gunther in the United Kingdom, the former took to Instagram to share a short message reflecting on the Stamford-based company's ongoing tour.

"Sick tour so far. And we’re not done yet. #AmericanMade," Chad Gable shared.

Arn Anderson previewed the upcoming clash between Gunther and Cody Rhodes set for WWE Crown Jewel

WWE Hall of Famer Arn Anderson recently commented on the upcoming match between Gunther and Cody Rhodes at the Crown Jewel 2024 Premium Live Event.

While speaking on the ARN podcast via The Four Horsemen Network, Anderson claimed that Gunther vs. Rhodes won't be a "pretty" affair.

"Cody [Rhodes] needs challenges. He needs tests. He needs to be able to go beyond what he even believes he's able to, and I know he bets on himself, and he's confident in his abilities. But, when you have a guy like that, that's gonna be a different kind of match. It's not gonna be pretty, it's not gonna be slick. Gonna have to stand in there and bang on that, so look forward to it," Arn Anderson said.

At Crown Jewel 2024, Rhodes and Gunther will battle it out to crown the inaugural Crown Jewel Champion. Cody is the reigning Undisputed WWE Champion whereas Gunther is the current World Heavyweight Champion.

It will be interesting to see who walks out of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as the winner.
