Malcolm Bivens has named Gunther as the top person who he wants to beat up in the ring – though he doesn’t want the NXT star to know that. During a recent interview with The Black Announce Table, Bivens was asked who he would like to face if he ever gets the chance to compete in the ring and went straight to the Imperium leader.

“Yeah, the number one person, and I need to just beat their ass, is Gunther,” Bivens said (per Fightful). “Gunther, Guntha, Gunna, whatever his name is. He’s the one. If I have one more match in me, it’s against him. I want it, I need it, WrestleMania. It’s probably going to be on the kick-off show; me vs. him and I’m going to beat his ass.”

He then immediately followed up with, “Please don’t tag him. When you tweet this clip out, please do not tag him. Not because I’m afraid, just, WWE social media rules.”

Imperium has been locked in a feud with Diamond Mine as of late, with The Creed Brothers earning a shot at Imperium’s NXT Tag Team Championships by way of their Dusty Cup win. The feud led to Gunther briefly manhandling Bivens on last week’s show.
