Gunther squared off against Finn Balor on the go-home SummerSlam episode of Raw. In a first-ever encounter, The Ring General choked out his opponent to pick up the win. However, he wasn’t done inflicting pain on Balor as he continued to apply the hold. As such, Damian Priest came out to save his Judgment Day teammate. A brawl between both wrestlers ensued as the Syfy feed cut and the show went off the air.

After the feed abruptly ended, fan footage online showed that Priest stood tall after chokeslaming his rival through the announce table. Without doubt, this has become one of the most anticipated bouts of this year’s SummerSlam. Although there was initial fan skepticism, Gunther and Priest managed to garner interest for their feud in the weeks leading up to Saturday.

The King of the Ring not only viewed his opponent as an “unworthy” champion, but he also called him “street trash.” Obviously, the World Heavyweight Champion hasn’t taken too kindly to this. Last week, the two men brawled throughout the arena as they had to be separated by officials and security. After Gunther insulted the entire Judgment Day, El Campeon had enough of the #1 contender and launched an attack on him.

Needless to say, Damian Priest will look to seek vengeance after weeks of Gunther disrespecting him and his faction. Moreover, this will pose arguably his toughest challenge since winning the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania.

Balor claimed that The Ring General was the best wrestler in the world. Furthermore, he said that he was interested in a future showdown against him. The former Universal Champion also revealed that there were plans for him to square off against the Austrian at a NXT show in Dublin before the pandemic nixed plans for the event.

In the past few weeks, fans have felt that the dream bout was inevitable. After Gunther insulted The Judgment Day, Balor vowed to take down the record-breaking champion all by himself last night. However, the former Bullet Club member failed to do so and paid the price.
