Gunther Denies Sami Zayn World Heavyweight Championship Shot – On the September 2 episode of WWE RAW, World Heavyweight Champion Gunther made a bold statement by proclaiming himself the greatest World Heavyweight Champion in history, highlighting his recent victory over Randy Orton at WWE Bash in Berlin as proof. Gunther confidently stated that he was the man responsible for the success of the event, but his declaration was interrupted by none other than Sami Zayn.
Zayn, reflecting on his past as WWE Intercontinental Champion, mentioned the legacy of greats who used that title as a stepping stone to the world championship— a path that Gunther himself had taken. Zayn then declared his own intentions to follow that path and challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship.
Gunther responded by saying that Zayn had stepped down, and his name was not on the list of the legends he brought up. Gunther said that people liked Zayn because he kept getting up and returning to the ring. He told Zayn that he saw his passion, and if he wanted a shot, his answer was no.
As Gunther began to walk away, Zayn reminded him of their past encounter, where he had defeated Gunther at WWE WrestleMania XL, ending Gunther’s historic Intercontinental Championship reign. Zayn made it clear that he wasn’t backing down and vowed to become a world champion, setting the stage for a potentially epic clash between the two.
The tension between Zayn and Gunther promises to be a major storyline going forward, with Zayn determined to prove that he belongs among the greats by taking the World Heavyweight Championship from Gunther.
