WWE RAW General Manager Adam Pearce is putting his foot down in an attempt to regain control of his show.
The RAW after WrestleMania is typically a chaotic one, but rarely does it result in a member of the roster being fined and suspended for their actions. However, it seems Pearce believed setting an example going forward was the best course of action.

RAW General Manager Adam Pearce took to social media this afternoon to announce that former World Heavyweight Champion Gunther has been fined and suspended indefinitely for attacking Michael Cole and Pat McAfee Monday evening, putting out the following statement:
“Good afternoon. By now, everyone has seen what happened on Monday between Gunther, Michael Cole, and Pat McAfee,” Adam Pearce said. “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. You’re frustrated because you lost the World Heavyweight Championship to Jey Uso, and I get that.
“But if you want to blame somebody, then park your ass in front of a mirror and ask the person staring back at you. After conferring with representation of all three men, Gunther has been fined an undisclosed amount and suspended indefinitely. Pat and Cole will be on RAW this Monday, live in Kansas City, 8 Eastern, 5 Pacific, on Netflix. Thank you for your time.”
