It’s a bout that promises high stakes and even higher drama, as both fighters are known for their impressive skill sets and determination to win.
Championship Matches Galore
Aside from Gunther’s title match, the show will also spotlight two more championship contests: Rhea Ripley defending her Women’s World Championship against Nia Jax and Bron Breakker facing Sheamus for the Intercontinental Championship.

Bron Breakker’s Challenge
In a highly-anticipated match, Bron Breakker will put his Intercontinental title on the line against Sheamus, who is determined to capture his first IC title. In their last encounter, Bron’s initial domination met a fierce challenge from Sheamus, who managed a stunning comeback with a devastating Brogue Kick. However, Bron’s quick thinking led to a glorious counter that earned him the win. This time, the stakes are even higher!
Hulk Hogan’s Surprise Absence
Adding an unexpected twist to the evening, wrestling legend Hulk Hogan will not be appearing at the event.

Despite this, the show will still go ahead as planned, but it will certainly feel different without the iconic wrestler’s presence.
