WWE puts wrong championship belt on Gunther's shoulder on its website [PHOTO]

WWE recently made a massive botch while promoting Gunther's confrontation with Cody Rhodes on SmackDown. The championship belt featured on Gunther's shoulder wasn't the World Heavyweight Championship.

At WWE SummerSlam 2024, The Ring General won the World Heavyweight Title from former Judgment Day member Damian Priest. He has been the top champion of the RAW brand since then. Next month, he will take on Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes in an Interbrand match at Crown Jewel.

WWE recently promoted Gunther and Cody Rhodes' face-off on SmackDown and made a massive botch. The belt on his graphic wasn't the World Heavyweight Title, but the Intercontinental Championship.

The page promoting the confrontation has now been removed from WWE's official website, and a message pops up if one tries to access it: "You are not authorized to access this page." Many fans bashed WWE for the botch on Twitter. Check out the graphic below:

What's at stake at Crown Jewel, where Gunther will battle Cody Rhodes?

The former WWE Intercontinental Champion will take on The American Nightmare in a highly-anticipated bout in Saudi Arabia. The winner of the match will be crowned the inaugural WWE Crown Jewel Champion.

Cody Rhodes won his Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania XL earlier this year. He defeated Roman Reigns to finally finish the story and become WWE's top champion.
