The November 25, 2024, episode of WWE Raw delivered an memorable moment between World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER and his Survivor Series challenger, Damian Priest. From tension-filled mic work to a brutal Razors Edge through the announce desk, the segment had fans on the edge of their seats. But while GUNTHER and Priest brought the heat in the ring, the mastermind behind the scene was none other than WWE writer Chad Barbash.
Fightful Selects Sean Ross Sapp confirmed Barbash was responsible for crafting the intense confrontation. Chad Barbash wrote the GUNTHER promo on WWE Raw, Sapp revealed.
The segment perfectly set the stage for the upcoming Survivor Series: WarGames showdown, where GUNTHER will defend his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Priest in what promises to be a hard-hitting battle.
In the segment, Jackie Redmond interviewed GUNTHER about his recent backstage clash with Priest and his upcoming title defense. GUNTHERs silence after being provoked by Priest spoke volumesbefore erupting into violence. Priest seized the moment, delivering a devastating Razors Edge through the announce desk and holding the World Heavyweight Championship high, leaving fans buzzing about the brewing rivalry.
Barbashs writing stood out not only for its compelling dialogue but also for the psychological layers it added to GUNTHERs character. The tension between GUNTHERs stoic demeanor and Priests fiery taunts showcased a battle of wills as much as physicality.
This isnt Barbashs first rodeo. Known for his knack for delivering high-stakes storytelling, Barbash has quickly become a key player in WWEs creative team. Segments like these remind fans that while the superstars bring the action to life, its the team behind the curtain that sets the stage for greatness.
