Major WWE title will surely change hands at SummerSlam after 100+ days, predicts ex-champion
WWE has booked five championship matches for SummerSlam. A former champion believes one of these titles will change hands at the premium live event.
The former champion in question is Peter Rosenberg. On his Cheap Heat podcast, the former 24/7 Champion recently addressed the World Heavyweight Championship match between Damian Priest and Gunther at SummerSlam. He disclosed that he does not like The Judgment Day member's chances going into that fight.
The Ring General earned his shot at the World Heavyweight Championship after winning The King of the Ring Tournament earlier this year. Rosenberg believes Gunther will leave The Biggest Party of the Summer with his first World Title in the Stamford-based company:
"I go back to what my original point was. It's bad news for Damian Priest because Gunther is going to win that match. Winning King of the Ring was not the top of the mountain for Gunther at this time," he said. [From 46:43 to 46:56]

Will The Judgment Day turn on Damian Priest if he loses at WWE SummerSlam?
While discussing the World Heavyweight Championship match at WWE SummerSlam on his Notsam Wrestling podcast, WWE Analyst Sam Roberts also predicted that Damian Priest would lose the title to Gunther.
Meanwhile, Roberts disclosed that he believes The Judgment Day will turn on their 41-year-old teammate after he drops the championship. Roberts even suggested the faction could split into two, with Rhea Ripley siding with Priest:
"I think that Damian Priest will lose the title at SummerSlam to Gunther. And I think once Damian Priest loses the title to Gunther, that's when The Judgment Day turns on him," he said.
The Archer of Infamy has held the World Heavyweight Championship for over 100 days. It would be interesting to see if he can beat Gunther to extend his championship run.
