WWE Survivor Series: Damian Priest to take on Gunther for World Heavyweight Championship

Damian Priest has been named as the challenger to take on the "Ring General" Gunther for his World Heavyweight Championship at WWE's next pay-per-view (PPV) Survivor Series: WarGames. Priest earned his rematch with Gunther after he defeated Seth Rollins, Sheamus, and Dominik Mysterio in a chaotic Fatal Four-Way match on WWE Raw.??

Gunther completes 100 days as champion? ?

Gunther had defeated Priest to win the World Heavyweight Title at WWE SummerSlam 2024. Since then, he has defeated the likes of Randy Orton and Sami Zayn in successful title defences.??

On November 11, the 37-year-old Austrian completed 100 days as the World Heavyweight champion.??

When Priest and Gunther lock horns again on November 30 at Survivor Series, they will create history, as it will be the first time the same world title match happens at both SummerSlam and Survivor Series in the same year.??

Gunther's WWE career??

Gunther made his WWE debut in 2019 for NXT UK and made his main roster debut on SmackDown in April 2022. In June, Gunther defeated Ricochet to win the Intercontinental Championship and held the belt for over 600 days. Gunther also won the King of the Ring in 2024 before claiming his first World Heavyweight Championship.??

Survivor Series: WarGames??

Another face-off to watch out for at Survivor Series is the WarGames match itself, where the original Bloodline of Roman Reigns, Sami Zayn, Jey Uso, and Jimmy Uso, plus a fifth member, join forces against the new Bloodline of Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, plus a fifth member.??

On the latest episode of RAW, both sides had tried to recruit Seth Rollins as their fifth member, but he said no.??

In a WarGames match, two rings are surrounded by a steel cage, and it begins with a member from each team battling one-on-one. After five minutes, a Superstar will enter from one of the two teams. Every two minutes after that, another competitor enters, and the teams alternate until everyone enters.??
