Summary
PWInsider Elite reported GUNTHER vs. Nick Aldis is “100% set” for WWE SummerSlam in Minneapolis, though WWE has not said which of the two nights will host the match.
Recent physical fallout drove the booking: after Night of Champions, tensions escalated into a confrontation that put Aldis on administrative leave, and GUNTHER later dropped him with multiple sleeper holds on SmackDown.
For Aldis, the bout would mark his first WWE match since joining the company in August 2023 and becoming SmackDown general manager in October 2023.
Aldis has not wrestled on television since a July 16, 2023 Impact loss to Eric Young, though he brings a résumé that includes two NWA Worlds Heavyweight title reigns and one TNA world title run as Magnus.
