WWE is gearing up for its upcoming Payback event, which is set to take place on Saturday, September 2. While the focus is primarily on Payback, WWE is also making preparations for future shows. One match that has been announced for the September 4 episode of Monday Night Raw is a rematch between Chad Gable and Intercontinental Champion Gunther. This rematch comes after Gable defeated Gunther via countout on last week’s Raw.
According to Better Wrestling Experience, the decision to leave this match off the Payback card was made by WWE COO Triple H, who wanted to avoid overloading the event. By looking towards the future and not just the present, WWE is showing a logical approach to their booking.

This decision not only takes the pressure off the Payback card but also allows for the buildup of other shows. WWE recognizes that there are more shows to consider beyond the major events, and it’s refreshing to see them take this approach.
As for the match itself, fans can expect an intense and competitive showdown between Chad Gable and Gunther. Both competitors have proven their abilities in the ring, and this rematch will likely showcase their skills even further. It will be interesting to see if Gable can maintain his momentum after his victory over Gunther, or if Gunther will seek redemption and reclaim his title.
