3 things Gunther can do as new World Heavyweight Champion on WWE RAW tonight

The upcoming episode of Monday Night RAW will be the first time Gunther will make an appearance as World Heavyweight Champion. At the recently concluded SummerSlam, the Austrian beat former champion Damian Priest, who was betrayed by fellow Judgment Day member Finn Balor.

Gunther's win at the premium live event is the first time he has won a World Championship in the Stamford-based promotion. Hence, many fans are excited to see what will he do on his first Monday Night RAW as World Heavyweight Champion.

In this article, we will look at three things Gunther can do as World Heavyweight Champion on the red brand:

#3. Damian Priest could step up for a rematch on RAW

Ideally, the upcoming episode of RAW would witness Damian Priest confronting Finn Balor for his actions at SummerSlam. However, along with doing that, it won't be surprising if Damian steps up to Gunther and asks him for a World Heavyweight Championship rematch at Bash in Berlin.

After all, Damian Priest had a decent run as the World Heavyweight Champion. He put up some impressive title defenses against the likes of Jey Uso and Drew McIntyre. This is why the Judgment Day member could make a good case to challenge for the title.

#2. Conducts a tournament to find a challenger

If one has followed Gunther and his career, one must know how much he loves professional wrestling. Therefore, it would be safe to assume that Gunther would want to be an active champion and defend his World Heavyweight Championship against some of the biggest names on RAW.

That's why on the upcoming episode of the red brand, Gunther could announce a tournament to determine who will challenge him for his title at Bash in Berlin. This tournament could feature some of the biggest names on the red brand.

#1. Sami Zayn challenges Gunther

Before becoming the World Heavyweight Champion, Gunther had a historic run as Intercontinental Champion. His 666-day reign as Intercontinental Champion came to an end after Sami Zayn defeated him at WrestleMania 40. This is something Zayn could use on the upcoming episode of RAW.

Given Zayn lost the Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam, he could step up to Gunther and tell him he deserves to fight for the World Heavyweight Title since he beat the Austrian at WrestleMania. The wrestler in Gunther would love a scenario like this because he will have a chance to get his revenge on Sami Zayn.
