Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Gunther’s entitled tantrum, Rhodes’ calm confidence, and the predictable outcome – it was all too familiar.
Rhodes, the golden boy, was being asked to do the simple thing, sign the contract, but Gunther just couldn’t bring himself to do it.
And when Keys tried to sign the contract, Gunther took it away, because, of course, he did.
In the end, Gunther got his win, but Rhodes remained the one in control, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
Original Observation: This match was all about Gunther’s ego and Rhodes’ patience.
