Gunther and Damian Priest have been on a collision course since Gunther became King of the Ring in May. Damian has survived several championship defenses against what many thought he was destined to lose. Damian entered Cleveland for Summer Slam with the World Heavyweight Championship around his waist. Gunther has been making personal attacks at Damian Priest's upbringing. This week WWE released a Documentary about Priest's life and rise in wrestling.
Summer Slam began with turmoil in the Judgement Day. Dominick Mysterio betrayed their family and cost Rhea Ripley her world title. Backstage Damian confronted the other members in search of Dom. He was no where to be seen.
Before his title match, Damian apologized to fellow member Finn Balor. Despite their seeming reconciliation, Damian requests Finn not to join him.
Damian and Gunther were an unstoppable force and immovable object. Throughout their match, the two tossed each other around, slapped the hell out of one another, and clubbed each other til they were blue in the face. Damian even managed to make Gunther's chest bleed from getting chopped so hard.
Sure enough, Finn comes to ringside and saves Gunther from being pinned. Judgement Day is up in smoke. Gunther locked Priest in a sleeper hold. Damian managed to escape, but he could no longer focus on the match. Finn gets grabbed by the throat by Damian.
Gunther once more locked in the sleeper hold, this time for the victory. Gunther is now World Heavy Champion. What was Finn's reasoning for screwing Damian? We will have to find out on Monday Night RAW!
