Gunther should be tweaners because he has a fued with the judgment day and he also has a fued with Damien. So Gunther should be a tweaner because he is enimies with both Finn who is a heel and Damien who is a face

Can't remember the last time he did the Last Symphony. Also, I'd put the Boston Crab as one of his finishers, it seems to have been his go-to as of late.
