SummerSlam number one contender’s gauntlet match set for WWE Raw
The next challenger for Gunther will be determined on Monday.
It was announced during Sunday’s Evolution PLE that a gauntlet match will take place on Raw. CM Punk, Jey Uso, LA Knight, Penta, and Bron Breakker will wrestle for a chance to earn a World Heavyweight title match against The Ring General at SummerSlam.
Following the events of Night of Champions, Punk reignited his feud with Seth Rollins, Breakker, and their group after they interfered in his WWE title match against John Cena. On last Monday’s Raw, both Knight and Punk attacked Rollins, leading to a segment later where they both expressed interest in taking him out. However, any storyline involving Rollins is currently in question after he suffered an injury at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Gunther’s last World Championship match was a successful one, defeating Goldberg in what was the former WCW Champion’s final match at Saturday Night’s Main Event. He defeated Jey Uso for the title back on the June 9 edition of Raw.
Here is the current lineup for Monday’s Raw:
WWE Raw lineup for July 14:
