Last year the former World Heavyweight Champion Gunther attacked Michael Cole and also had a brawl with Pat McAfee. This week on RAW, McAfee wanted a piece of Gunther. But the Ring General has been suspended indefinitely, so he could not answer the call. Nick Aldis announced a match between the duo at Backlash.
