Gunther is all set to face Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship at the 2024 SummerSlam PLE. Gunther is the clear favorite to win the championship and the dominating reign he had with the Intercontinental Championship makes a lot of them believe that he will not lose the title in the foreseeable future.

Considering the reports, rumors and speculations, Cena is likely to work on the Raw brand during his retirement tour and will be battling against Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship, in a mission to break the record for the most world championship wins in history.

However, to have this potential championship match in future, Gunther should win the World Heavyweight Championship at the 2024 SummerSlam PLE this Saturday (August 03, 2024) at the Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio, United States.
