Gunther will put the title on the line on the October 7 episode of WWE RAW. “The Ring General” has rejected Sami Zayn’s challenge to a match for the World Heavyweight Championship multiple times in recent weeks.

After weeks of ducking his former WrestleMania rival, GUNTHER finally and accepted Sami Zayn's challenge for a World Heavyweight title match during "WWE Raw."

Three matches are official for the October 7 WWE Raw, including a World Heavyweight title bout and an Intercontinental Championship tilt.

Sami Zayn and Gunther met face-to-face in the ring on the September 30th episode of WWE Raw and Gunther finally agreed to face Zayn after weeks of Zayn asking for the bout.

Zayn, who had beaten GUNTHER for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania XL earlier this year, has been petitioning to be the next in line for the World Heavyweight Championship. Despite being one of the few people to defeat GUNTHER ever in WWE, Zayn was still considered unworthy by this year’s King of the Ring.

Ahead of WWE's Bad Blood PLE, the buildup continued for the mega event as Sami Zayn was granted the chance to challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship. The Judgement Day defeated LWO and beat down the Terror Twins Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley.
