Also, Adam Pearce in the video said, "Good afternoon. By now, everyone has seen what happened on Monday between Gunther, Michael Cole, and Pat McAfee. First things first, Pat and Cole are okay. Pat's in Green Bay covering the NFL draft, and Cole's doing what he always does, preparing for Monday Night RAW in a Hall of Fame way.”
“As for you, Gunther, your actions were reprehensible and disgusting. You will never again put your hands on a member of my announce team because there ain't no heat in beating up an announcer,” he further stated.
Adam Pearce further added: "You're frustrated because you lost the World Heavyweight Championship to Jey Uso, and I get that, but if you wanna blame somebody, then park your a** in front of a mirror and ask the person staring back at you.
