Gunther's next challenger for the World Heavyweight Championship was determined on the latest edition of RAW. Moments later, both men came face-to-face in the ring.

Damian Priest has had the best year of his professional wrestling career. He won the Money in the Bank briefcase and then cashed in the contract to win the World Heavyweight Championship.

Priest enjoyed a short title reign since he was betrayed by Finn Balor at SummerSlam thereby costing him the title. Since then, The Archer of Infamy has been feuding with The Judgment Day.

However, after Damian Priest defeated Finn Balor at WWE Bad Blood 2024, he said he was ready to move on and reclaim the World Championship. Tonight on RAW, Priest competed in a Fatal Four-Way match against Dominik Mysterio, Seth Rollins, and Sheamus to determine the number one contender for the World Title.

After a hard-fought battle and an onslaught from Bronson Reed, Priest was able to pin Dominik and become the number one contender. Following the match, Gunther came down to the ring and had an intense stare-down with Priest. This will be their first rematch since SummerSlam.

It will be interesting to see if Damian Priest will be able to defeat Gunther for the World Heavyweight Title.
