WWE Crown Jewel match between GUNTHER and Finn Balor reportedly scrapped

A planned match between GUNTHER and Finn Balor, performing as ‘The Demon’, was reportedly removed from the WWE Crown Jewel premium live event in Saudi Arabia.

Reports suggest the cancellation stemmed from conflicting decisions regarding travel to Riyadh. According to the Wrestling Observer, GUNTHER reportedly declined to travel to the event, which led to changes in the match card. While Finn Balor also reportedly had reservations about the trip, sources indicate he would have traveled had GUNTHER agreed.

Other reports suggest that even if travel had not been an issue, some within the company felt the matchup required a longer television build to be properly executed.
