Who Will Challenge Gunther for The World Heavyweight Title at WWE Bad Blood 2024

Gunther won his first World Championship in WWE at SummerSlam, defeating Damian Priest(albeit with the help of Finn Balor), and then defended the title against ‘The Viper’ Randy Orton, at ‘Bash in Berlin’ on 31st August. Much like his reign as the Intercontinental Champion earlier, he is set to prolong his World Heavyweight Championship tenure too. With the ‘Bad Blood’ PLE coming back to WWE after 2 decades, it will be interesting to see who emerges to challenge the Ring General for the title.Here are 4 superstars who could challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at wwe bad blood 20241.Damian PriestInterestingly, after being betrayed by his Judgment Day colleague Finn Balor, Priest didn't even ask for his rematch for the World Heavyweight Championship, which he lost at SummerSlam, against Gunther. Now, after winning the ‘Mixed Tag Team’ match along with Rhea Ripley, against Dominik Mysterio and Liv Morgan, Priest might focus on winning the Championship back from the Ring General at ‘Bad blood’.2. Sami ZaynNotably, Sami Zayn was the one to dethrone Gunther from his Intercontinental Championship crown, when he was the longest reigning Intercontinental Champion in the history of WWE with 666 days. Now with Sami losing his Intercontinental championship to Bron Breakker at SummerSlam, it is only fitting that he goes after the bigger goal and challenges Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at Bad Blood 2024. Having lost against Sami in Wrestlemania XL, Gunther too would be interested to settle the score against Sami.3. CM PunkAt Bash in Berlin, CM Punk expressed his wish to go after the gold( World Heavyweight Championship) after his monumental victory in a ‘Strap’ match against Drew Mcintyre. It would be interesting to see whether he gets that chance straight away by the GM, or will he have to win some matches to get the number one contendership. Another twist in the tail that could happen is Drew Mcintyre poking his nose in Punk’s business once again. Just like CM Punk cost him numerous World Championship winning opportunities, Drew, who is famous for his nefarious grudge-holding activities, might not yet be done with the ‘Second City Saint’. With the kind of beat down that Punk delivered on the ‘Scottish Warrior’, Mcintyre would be itching to get his hands on Punk once again.4. Randy OrtonGunther has further solidified his position as one of the most dominant superstars in the WWE, by beating Randy Orton at Bash in Berlin. He has also cleaned the ‘King of the Ring’ final’s blemish against The Viper. But he might not be done with Randy just yet. The kind of domination Randy displayed over Gunther through most of the match, Randy could stake his claim on another chance to capture the World Title at Bad Blood 2024.
