Damian Priest Set For Huge SummerSlam Match

24 hours later, Damian Priest will face what has been described as the biggest threat to his World Heavyweight Title to date — Gunther. The longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion in history earned his shot at Priest by winning the King of the Ring tournament back in May.

Priest’s most recent title defence came at Money in the Bank where he saw off Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre who was cashing in his Money in the Bank contract. However, that victory did arrive with a large slice of luck thanks to CM Punk making sure McIntyre left without the title.
