33-year-old star not in The Judgment Day to help Damian Priest retain at SummerSlam? Exploring the chances

SummerSlam 2024 is just a few weeks away and the feuds and storylines have started to shift gears. Damian Priest will defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Gunther, in what is expected to be a thrilling contest. However, this match might see a huge surprise as a shocking name unrelated to The Judgment Day could help Priest retain his title at the spectacle.

The name in question is Giovanni Vinci. The 33-year-old star could intervene in the World Heavyweight Championship match and cost Gunther. The prospect of it happening arises from the fact that The Ring General turned his back on Vinci and kicked him out of Imperium in April of this year. Gunther also orchestrated a vicious attack on his former stablemate at the hands of Ludwig Kaiser.

Therefore, a burning desire for revenge could be making its presence felt within Giovanni Vinci since then. He might be waiting for the perfect moment to strike and SummerSlam could just be the right place where he could get his retribution on Gunther by costing him the World Heavyweight Championship.

However, the chances of the former Imperium member interfering in the match are minimal. A major reason why it is unlikely is that WWE may not have any plans to sabotage such a high-stakes match with interference that may not be fruitful. Moreover, Giovanni Vinci is part of SmackDown and has not been seen on WWE television lately.

The 33-year-old star lacks credibility and he would seemingly look to rebuild his singles career upon his return rather than costing Gunther. Apart from these, WWE may have major plans for the World Heavyweight Championship match, which could also see the return of a top star at SummerSlam 2024.


WWE may be cooking a major title change at SummerSlam 2024

This week on Monday Night RAW, Gunther and Damian Priest came face-to-face in a blockbuster segment. Both superstars were involved in a verbal tirade where they pricked at each other's scars with the intent of gaining a psychological advantage over each other.

From what transpired on RAW, it looks like WWE may be cooking a major title change in the World Heavyweight Championship match at SummerSlam 2024. The Ring General will likely triumph over Priest and walk out as the new champion at the upcoming spectacle.

The Stamford-based promotion has showcased him as a legitimate threat on the latest edition of Monday Night RAW. Gunther stood toe-to-toe with the defending champion and drew the first blood by hitting a thunderous chop on Damian Priest after the latter's match against Braun Strowman.

Therefore, a title change seems imminent at The Biggest Party of The Summer. Regardless of the outcome, fans can expect an abundance of chaos, drama, and action to unravel at SummerSlam when both behemoths collide in a monumental clash.
