In the main event of WWE Night of Champions, Sami Zayn defeated Cody Rhodes and Gunther in a triple threat match to win the Undisputed WWE Championship. After the bout, The Ring General had a heated confrontation with Nick Aldis that turned physical. Consequently, the two were sent home after the premium live event.

However, their rivalry escalated further upon Aldis’ return as the SmackDown General Manager. On the July 10 edition of the blue brand’s show, Gunther brutally attacked the 39-year-old after the latter refused to insert Gunther into the Undisputed WWE Championship Match scheduled for SummerSlam. Aldis instead announced a tag team match between Gunther & Sami Zayn and CM Punk & Cody Rhodes for Saturday Night’s Main Event.

The following week on SmackDown, Adam Pearce, who was filling in for Aldis, announced that if Zayn and Gunther won the tag team match at Saturday Night’s Main Event, they would be added to the Undisputed WWE Championship Match scheduled for SummerSlam, making it a fatal four-way match.

The two teams put forth an engaging back-and-forth contest that ended in controversy. The Ring General came close to winning the match for his team when Nick Aldis showed up to pull the referee out of the ring to stop the three-count. He followed it up by smacking The Ring General in the face with the Undisputed WWE Championship, allowing CM Punk to capitalise and ensuring that the SummerSlam clash remained a one-on-one battle.

However, Gunther will also be in action at The Biggest Party of the Summer. Moments ago, Triple H announced that The Ring General will wrestle Nick Aldis at the premium live event.

“We’re going to settle this in the ring……at SummerSlam!!” Triple H wrote.

You can check out his post below:

It will be Nick Aldis’ first match in nearly three years. He wrestled his last match at ACW Bluegrass Con. He wrestled in a five-way battle for the vacant ACW Bluegrass Con Title in October 2023. Unfortunately, he failed to secure the gold.

For those unaware, Aldis is a former two-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion. He also held the TNA World Heavyweight Title. It will be interesting to see how he fares against Gunther at SummerSlam.
