WWE has made a significant change to the World Heavyweight Championship match scheduled for WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event.
On this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw, GUNTHER opened the show to promote his upcoming title defense against Finn Balor at the event. Balor interrupted the segment, expressing his excitement for the match and boldly declaring that he would defeat GUNTHER to capture the championship.
In response, GUNTHER dismissed Balor’s confidence, claiming that Balor wasn’t on his level and never would be. He also referenced their shared history, adding fuel to the brewing rivalry. As tensions escalated, members of Judgment Day moved to confront GUNTHER, but Damian Priest arrived to even the odds.
A chaotic brawl broke out among all three competitors, with GUNTHER targeting Priest while Balor engaged both men. Following the melee, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce appeared backstage to deliver a game-changing announcement: the championship match at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event would now be a Triple Threat Match, featuring GUNTHER, Finn Balor, and Damian Priest.
This development adds another layer of intrigue to the match, as GUNTHER has a contentious history with both challengers. At WWE Survivor Series, GUNTHER defeated Priest after Balor interfered and attacked his Judgment Day teammate. Furthermore, GUNTHER originally captured the title by defeating Priest at WWE SummerSlam. The stage is now set for a high-stakes showdown where alliances and rivalries will collide.
