Priest even admitted that he was kicking himself about the move but at the end of the day, WWE Universe is so invested all the storyline and the action that is going through, it changes the dynamics.

Priest will be going head on against Gunther in the WWE SummerSlam in a bid to defend his World Heavyweight Championship. Fans believe that this may be a massive push for Gunther as well after the ring-general pulled off a sensational feat with the Intercontinental title.
