WWE Raw: Gauntlet Match Set to Determine Gunther's Next Challenger
Upcoming Gauntlet Match on WWE Raw
Tonight's episode of WWE Raw will feature a gauntlet match to determine who will challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship. Gunther successfully defended his title against a legendary wrestler this past Saturday and is now preparing for a new opponent at SummerSlam next month.
During the recent all-women Evolution premium live event, it was revealed that CM Punk, Jey Uso, LA Knight, Penta, and Bron Breakker will compete in the gauntlet match for a shot at the title against Gunther.
Last week on WWE Raw, CM Punk reignited his rivalry with Seth Rollins and his faction, which includes Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, after they interfered in Punk's WWE Championship match against John Cena at the Saudi Arabia event.
Seth Rollins' Injury Raises Concerns
In a recent segment, both LA Knight and CM Punk targeted Seth Rollins, indicating their desire to eliminate him from the competition. However, Rollins' storyline is now uncertain due to a leg injury he sustained during a match against LA Knight at Saturday Night's Main Event. Fans are eager for updates on his condition during WWE Raw.
At the Evolution post-show press conference, Triple H provided an update on Rollins, stating that he would undergo an MRI in Birmingham, Alabama, coinciding with WWE Raw's event at the Legacy Arena.
"The situation is a bit unclear and doesn't look promising. He will be in Birmingham tomorrow. He made it to the event tonight to support his wife’s performance. We’ll get the MRI results and hope for the best," Triple H commented regarding Rollins' injury.
In a notable match at Saturday Night's Main Event, Goldberg faced Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship, marking Goldberg's retirement match. The bout lasted nearly 15 minutes, making it his longest match in 22 years, following his Armageddon 2003 triple threat match. Gunther won the title from Jey Uso on June 9 during WWE Raw, and this was his first title defense.
