Below are some top news stories of the day, involving Gunther and Taz.
• The highly anticipated World Heavyweight Championship match between Gunther and Sami Zayn, originally set for WWE Bad Blood 2024, has been moved to the October 7th edition of RAW.
This shift has raised questions, but Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com explained that WWE believes Bad Blood is already strong enough to sell out without the match.
“When we asked why, we were told that this show didn’t need that match, so they could use it to boost RAW.
And based on ticket sales and secondary market demand, that would be correct.
They don’t need that match on this show,” Meltzer reported.
With Bad Blood already sold out and secondary market ticket prices soaring, WWE is positioning the Gunther vs. Zayn bout to drive higher ratings for RAW, building even more excitement for the coming week.
