Damian Priest and Gunther are set to clash in a World Heavyweight Championship match at WWE SummerSlam 2024, which is scheduled to take place in Cleveland, Ohio, on August 3.
The Archer of Infamy and the reigning King of the Ring had another confrontation on RAW, which led to a brawl in the ring as well as backstage, forcing General Manager Adam Pearce to send both superstars home for the night.
As fans are expecting another face-off next week and an intense battle at SummerSlam, let's take a look at three superstars who could interfere in Damian Priest and Gunther's World Heavyweight Championship match.
Trending
#3. Bron Breakker
This is not a very likely scenario, but fans should not be surprised if it happens eventually. Bron Breakker continues to wreak havoc on RAW and has dominated his opponents so far.
Still, The Big Bad Booty Nephew failed to win the Intercontinental Championship recently, but he will have a second chance when he takes on Sami Zayn at SummerSlam. No matter what the outcome will be, Bron could interfere in Damian Priest vs. Gunther just to make a statement.
WWE continues to push him and getting involved in the World Heavyweight Championship clash would be another huge step for the former NXT Champion. Should it happen, fans would expect him to target both Priest and Gunther.
#2. Ilja Dragunov
Ilja Dragunov had to leave the number one contender match for the Intercontinental Championship against Bron Breakker due to an injury. Breakker hit Dragunov with a Spear and injured him, forcing him to quit the match.
It is unclear if the former NXT Champion will miss time, but we could see him interfere in the upcoming World Heavyweight Championship match at SummerSlam and target Gunther. The two have had a rivalry for years and WWE teased a feud when Ilja moved to the main roster in late April 2024.
Thus, The Mad Dragon appearing at SummerSlam and assaulting Gunther to cost him the World Heavyweight Championship looks like the perfect opportunity to re-ignite their feud. Should it happen, it could lead to a match between the two at the upcoming Bash in Berlin Premium Live Event.
#1. Finn Balor
Finn Balor appears to be the most likely superstar to get involved in the upcoming World Heavyweight Championship match at SummerSlam. The potential reason is that fans expect him to turn against Damian Priest and go after the latter's title.
Damian Priest and Finn Balor have not seen eye-to-eye for weeks now and fans have seen a lot of tension between the two over the past few weeks, especially during Rhea Ripley's absence recently.
Thus, if WWE wants to move forward with this storyline, Balor has to interfere and cost Priest the title. The Prince is expected to get involved in this title bout, as he will take on Gunther next Monday on RAW.
Balor will look to dominate Gunther after the latter underestimated The Judgment Day, but fans expect Damian Priest to interfere in this match and assault The Ring General ahead of their World Heavyweight Championship match.
Should this happen, Finn Balor will have the perfect chance to interfere in the title match at SummerSlam and start a heated feud with Damian Priest.
