Major Gunther news breaks; set to face off against top WWE stars in Germany
Major news has recently come to light regarding WWE Superstar Gunther's match against top names during the company's Germany tour. The names in question are Ilja Dragunov and Sami Zayn.
Since joining World Wrestling Entertainment in 2019, The Ring General has made a huge name in the pro wrestling world by winning several titles and becoming the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion in the history of WWE. After losing the gold against Sami Zayn at WrestleMania XL, the Imperium leader went on to win the King of the Ring Tournament. He is now set to face Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam.
On August 31, WWE is headed to Germany for Bash in Berlin. However, before the premium live event, fans would get to see their favorite talents on the August 30 episode of SmackDown and during several house shows.
According to Bild, two matches for Friday Night SmackDown in the Uber Arena in Berlin have been revealed. Gunther is set to team up with Ludwig Kaiser to lock horns with Ilja Dragunov and Sami Zayn. Meanwhile, Sheamus will also be in action against Santos Escobar.
Although fans wanted to see a singles match between Ilja Dragunov and Gunther, their tag team bout might still showcase some incredible moments between the duo.
