Triple H announced during the SummerSlam Kickoff party at
Fanatics Fest that Gunther will be taking on Nick Aldis at
SummerSlam.
Both Gunther and Aldis got physical at the event and
required several officials to keep them away from each
other.
The Smackdown General Manager interfered in last night’s
main event match, striking Gunther with the WWE
Championship, costing him and Zayn the match. Gunther ended
up taking the pin after Punk delivered a GTS immediately
following the title shot to the head and Cody covered for
the win.
“We’re going to settle this in the ring…at #SummerSlam,”
Triple H wrote on X later, adding the poster of the match as
well.
The two have been feuding for quite a few weeks now and this
will be Aldis’ first match inside a WWE ring – ever. Last
week, Gunther choked out Aldis on Smackdown, leaving him
unconscious.
The former TNA and NWA champion has not wrestled since
October 2023.
