Some of the best wrestlers in WWE will look to win or retain gold at SummerSlam. "The Biggest Party of the Summer” is in Cleveland. 

Gunther challenges Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Title. The longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion in WWE history, Gunther won the men’s King of the Ring tournament to secure a title shot. The Austrian is ready to cement himself as an all-time great in his short time in WWE.

“From the point of view as a performer, it’s maybe an even bigger challenge than being in the ring with somebody like Seth (Rollins) or (CM) Punk or Drew (McIntyre), who’s already a household name. I feel like Priest and I, we’re both on our individual ways of becoming household names, and I’m looking forward to that challenge,” Gunther told The Gorilla Position via 411Mania
