As a long-time WWE fan with over two decades of watching wrestling under my belt, I must say that Saturday Night’s Main Event was an absolute rollercoaster! The match between Gunther and Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship was nothing short of thrilling.
Despite maintaining his title as WWE’s World Heavyweight Champion, Gunther has had a challenging period due to a decline in confidence following an unforeseen defeat against Cody Rhodes. Since then, he’s been determined to reestablish his fearsome reputation, which culminated in a Triple Threat match for the title during Saturday Night’s Main Event. Although Damian Priest and Finn Balor briefly threatened Gunther’s title, he managed to bounce back from a mistake and fling Priest onto the steel steps before securing the victory against Balor. This triumph marks Gunther’s successful emergence from the shadow cast by his loss to Rhodes.
The initial part of the match didn’t go well for Balor, as he received blows from both adversaries, causing him to fall to the ground. Later on, Gunther focused on Priest, aiming to tire him out using a Boston Crab. However, Balor’s attacks seemed to provoke the Champion, leading to Priest quickly getting back up and knocking down both opponents.
In awe, I watched as the Priest retaliated against the Champion, delivering a series of powerful, resonating blows that echoed through the arena, pushing him back towards the ropes. With a swift move reminiscent of the Undertaker’s iconic style, he seized Gunther’s outstretched hand and wrist, countering his chop attempt, and sent the Champion crashing to the mat with an old-school takedown. Finally, in a decisive blow, he struck Balor with a superkick that left him reeling.

In an attempt to pay tribute to Razor Ramon, the priest executed a series of moves similar to his, but Gunther disrupted this act. This interruption resulted in two consecutive Sling Blades from Balor, landing on both the priest and Gunther. The priest, in a mishap, almost handed Balor the win. Then, Gunther applied a Sleeper Hold to the priest right in the middle of the ring. However, the priest managed to escape, retaliating with a Razor’s Edge on Gunther. Just as Balor was about to finish off Gunther with a Coup de Grace, the priest intervened and broke up the pin.
In this rephrased version: The priest attempted a chokeslam, but Gunther seized the priest’s hair to halt the move. Afterward, Gunther used a sleeper hold on the priest. Next, Gunther hoisted the priest onto the steel steps and delivered a powerful slam, which was even more impressive considering that the priest became momentarily entangled in the steps, causing Gunther to lift him once more in order for the move to connect successfully. Later, Gunther struck Balor with both a dropkick and an enormous powerbomb, thereby concluding the match. Ultimately, Gunther managed to keep his World Heavyweight Championship.
