AJ Styles put him in a position tonight when Gunther was going down the list of his accomplishments and talking about being the longest reigning intercontinental champion of all time.

Talking about being a two-time world heavyweight champion.

Talking about retiring Bill Goldberg.

Talking about retiring and making John Cena give up.

And then just as he was going to get into the amount of time that he has spent in the ring in a Royal Rumble match, as he declared himself, as at the time, only the second entrant in this year's men's Royal Rumble match.

Here comes AJ Styles demanding a rematch, wanting him to pull double duty at the Royal Rumble.

Not only be in the Rumble match,

but to face AJ Styles at the show.

And Gunther says no.

He says no.

But then AJ says, I mean, it was like back to the future.

What are you, chicken?

And Gunther goes full Marty McFly.

Nobody calls me chicken.

He doesn't know what to do.

AJ Styles said, unless you're scared, you don't want to be called scared if you're in Gunther's position, especially against a guy like AJ Styles.

But he says, you don't have anything to offer me.

You don't, like, what's on the line here?

I've already proven I can beat you.

And then he realizes that career.
