WWE World Heavyweight Champion Gunther has mocked his arch-rival Ilja Dragunov, who recently suffered a torn ACL injury at a WWE Live event over the weekend.
During the WWE SuperShow on September 28th in Columbus, Georgia, 'The Ring General' faced 'The Mad Dragon' in a title match. Gunther successfully retained his title but Dragunov sustained a major injury that will keep him on the shelf for several months. On last night's WWE Raw, footage from their match aired and the injury was confirmed.
WWE recently shared the footage of the announcement about Dragunov's injury on social media and Gunther mocked him in a Tweet. Check it out below:

Gunther used the same phrase that was seen on the wall at Carozza Fitness gym in Stamford, Connecticut during a video showing GUNTHER’s training for WWE Bash in Berlin where he faced Randy Orton.
The former NXT Champion Ilja Dragunov will be absent from in-ring action for the remainder of the year and he is likely to miss next year's PLEs including Royal Rumble and WrestleMania. It has been announced that he will be gone for six to nine months. A minimum of six months recovery time indicates that he will be absent for WrestleMania 41 season as well.
On the other hand, Gunther is enjoying his World title run and Sami Zayn poses a threat to his title reign. Last night on WWE Raw, 'The Ring General' finally accepted Zayn's challenge and they will face each other at this weekend's WWE Bad Blood PLE.
