Gunther’s WWE Contract Status: New Deal Close Amid SNME Showdown

Gunther, the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, is set to defend his title at SNME 2024. Recent reports suggest that Gunther is close to signing a new multi-year WWE contract. This deal is expected to keep him with the company for the foreseeable future.

Gunther recently defended his championship in a thrilling match against Damian Priest at Survivor Series: WarGames 2024. The event took place in Vancouver, Canada, on November 30. This match was a rematch from their earlier encounter at SummerSlam 2024, where Gunther first defeated Priest to become the World Heavyweight Champion.

Gunther’s Impressive Reign

Despite an earlier setback where Gunther lost to Cody Rhodes in the inaugural Crown Jewel match, he bounced back stronger. After defeating Priest at SummerSlam, Gunther has held his title for 123 days, showing his dominance in the ring.

WWE Praises Gunther’s Performance

Reports from Fightful Select and PWInsider reveal that WWE officials are highly impressed with Gunther’s performance. His in-ring skills and professional attitude have earned him a lot of respect within the company. According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, Gunther is in the final stages of negotiating his new WWE contract. Barring any surprises, his contract extension should be finalized by the end of the year.

WWE officials have praised Gunther for his work ethic both inside the ring and during media appearances. One higher-up in the company even said Gunther is one of the most professional talents they’ve ever worked with.

Upcoming SNME 2024 Match

Gunther’s next challenge comes on December 14, 2024, at Saturday Night’s Main Event (SNME). He will defend his title against Finn Balor at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. This match was set up after Balor confronted Gunther on the December 2 episode of Monday Night Raw. Initially, Gunther refused Balor’s request for a title match due to Balor’s interference in his earlier match with Damian Priest. Instead, Gunther fought Dominik Mysterio, who was with Balor at the time.

After the match, Balor attacked Gunther, hitting him with four Coup de Grâce moves. This brutal attack forced Gunther to agree to a title defense against Balor.
