Gunther vs. Sami Zayn World title match listed internally for WWE Bad Blood

A World Championship match is expected for WWE Bad Blood.

Dave Meltzer reports that Gunther defending the World Heavyweight title against Sami Zayn at next month’s Bad Blood premium live event has been listed internally by WWE.

In Sunday’s daily update, he wrote:

Gunther vs. Sami Zayn is listed on the internal lineup for a WWE title match at Bad Blood on 10/5, so I guess it’s a six-match show and not a five-match show with the Cody Rhodes & Roman Reigns vs. Solo Sikoa & Jacob Fatu, Drew McIntyre vs. CM Punk Hell in a Cell, a teased Nia Jax tag match (depending on next week’s Smackdown tag match result), Liv Morgan vs. Rhea Ripley for the women’s title and Damian Priest vs. Finn Balor.

Following the events of Bash in Berlin, Sami Zayn has confronted Gunther about getting a World Heavyweight title match on two occasions, noting that Gunther’s last loss was against him at WrestleMania 40 earlier this year. Gunther rejected the challenge, then did it again on last week’s Raw when Zayn interrupted a conversation between Gunther and Bret Hart. After Hart called Gunther yellow for ducking Zayn, Gunther and the former Intercontinental Champion ended up in a brawl that Zayn got the better of.
