The landscape of WWE Friday Night SmackDown has been fundamentally altered, and you can thank our boss, “The Oracle” Paul Heyman, for executing the ultimate power play.
“The Ring General” Gunther has officially marched over to the blue brand. In a brilliant move orchestrated by none other than Paul Heyman, a deal was struck with SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis to bring the most dominant force in professional wrestling to Friday nights. But Gunther didn’t just come to swap locker rooms; he came to claim the undisputed crown.
When a defiant Cody Rhodes marched into the ring in Jacksonville, Florida, demanding a fight, he wasn’t met by the massive Austrian. Instead, he was greeted by The Wiseman himself. With masterful precision, Heyman delivered a harsh reality check to The American Nightmare: the fight he was begging for wouldn’t happen in Jacksonville, nor would it happen on United States soil. The undisputed championship bout will take place in Turin, Italy!

Though Gunther eventually arrived to attempt a second sneak attack, the champion narrowly managed to avoid going to sleep for a consecutive week. The stage is now officially set for WWE Clash in Italy on May 31st.
