So far, the SmackDown card is already looking stacked: Cody Rhodes vs. Solo Sikoa in a steel cage match, Andrade facing Carmelo Hayes as their feud continues, and Austin Theory and Grayson Waller facing Kevin Owens and a mystery partner. Damian Priest and Gunther will also appear.

According to a report from PWInsider Elite, World Heavyweight Champion Gunther is currently set to appear in Seattle for WWE SmackDown. The appearance details were not nailed down in the report, as it could be that the RAW star will appear in the dark match for the night.

However, Climate Pledge Arena has advertised that Damian Priest will challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Title. The card may be subject to change, but this appears to be a massive night for Priest, as he gets a rematch.

At this time, it could be that this match is the dark match of the night and is not featured on the actual card. Fans will have to stay tuned to see what happens.
