Gunther Came To WWE For Challenges Like Randy Orton

Speaking in a SmackDown Exclusive, Gunther addressed his first-ever one-on-one match against Orton and said he has to beat a legend to become King of the Ring:

I sure will face Randy Orton tomorrow in the finals, and what an opportunity it is, right? What a chance. I came here to do this. I came here to be in the ring with the best of the best, and Randy is maybe one of the biggest legends that ever came out of WWE.
