Him and GUNTHER is going to be a banger
Cole seemed to indicate Drew signed a new deal

Glad he got the reaction he did. Even though he was stale before he took the time off, he's still one of my favorites. Give him the honor of ending GUNTHER's title reign and streak at SummerSlam.

If Drew has signed a new deal have him win and finally get a big title win on a stadium show in front of fans.
If he's not signed then obviously he's not getting that big of a rub but the match will likely be great anyway.

Makes sense he re-signed.
Shame he couldnt have been in MITB, wpm, then cashed in on Roman at the end of tonight.
That crowd would have exploded. Literally.

Him and Gunther is a nice consolation for Sheamo/Gunther being put on the back burner

Gunther better whoop that ass. Should be a brutally hard hitting affair.

He either signed a new deal and is winning here or he didn't and is putting GUNTHER over on his way out
Either way, this match will rule

I wouldn't say he's re-signed until it's confirmed elsewhere. I don't think what Cole said was definitive and the reporting out there has always said he's under contract until the end of the year. So Drew returning doesn't automatically imply anything other than he's now happy with his creative.

I've just no interest in him anymore. I'd like a heel turn.

He and Lashley have suffered the most from the Roman reign

He and Lashley have suffered the most from the Roman reign That bottle job in Cardiff then the singalong afterwards made him look awful, and he fell off hard after that, getting no payback on Solo Sikoa and then having a heatless feud with Mr Carcass. Drew needs something big as a face and ending the reign of Gunther could be just that.

I'd say this all depends on how close Gunther is to the Honky Tonk Man's record. WWE has been really big on breaking all those old records in the past few years, so it just stands to reason that Gunther still has the IC title because he's getting close to the milestone.

That's my worry. Wouldn't him losing at Summerslam put him only a month away from breaking it?! That would be heartbreaking, let him have it. His reign has been respectable enough to warrant it. Also, f*** HTM. He's had the record for decades too long anyway.

He and Lashley have suffered the most from the Roman reign Lashley keeps having feuds that go literally nowhere since the Bray fiasco, and it's stunning to me that they won't do him vs Roman. I guess that's good they don't want him to job to Roman, but like... he's extremely aimless, hasn't he also been off TV for a bit?

Last TV appearance was May but he did house shows last week so may have just had a month holiday.

Last TV appearance was May but he did house shows last week so may have just had a month holiday. Which isn’t the worst thing for him. He doesn’t look it but he is about to turn 47 I think this month. He’s been pretty consistent since he came back to WWE so giving him some time off is also good for his body

Yeah, I get why people are over long title runs but GUNTHER is so close to the HTM run that it makes sense to just let him take it. Drew can take one more loss and turn heel. I also wouldn't mind them revisiting Sheamus/GUNTHER again at next year's Mania but I could also see GUNTHER vs. Seth for the WWE WHT next year, too.
