WWE Botches Survivor Series Match Announcement

WWE fans couldn’t believe their eyes during this week’s Monday Night RAW when the company made a major announcement for the upcoming Survivor Series: War Games. While confirming that Damian Priest would face GUNTHER in a rematch for the World Heavyweight Championship, a glaring mistake in the broadcast graphic caught everyone’s attention.

GUNTHER, who recently celebrated 100 days as World Heavyweight Champion after defeating Damian Priest at SummerSlam—with an assist from Finn Balor—was shown holding the wrong title belt in the promotional image. Instead of the World Heavyweight Championship, the Ring General was depicted with the Intercontinental Championship, a blunder that didn’t go unnoticed by eagle-eyed fans.

The graphic error aired during the November 11 edition of RAW, where Priest’s status as the #1 contender was also highlighted following his victory in a contender’s match. This announcement came amidst the taped segments of the show, which were recorded back-to-back with next week’s November 18 episode in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

The November 18 taping is set to feature plenty of surprises, from major returns to new alliances forming, keeping anticipation high as Survivor Series approaches.

Despite the mishap, the stakes remain intense for the upcoming showdown, as GUNTHER will defend his World Heavyweight Championship against Damian Priest in what promises to be a hard-hitting encounter.
