For the SmackDown on FOX season premiere, a major WWE Clash at The Castle rematch has been announced.
The WWE Intercontinental Title will be defended by Gunther against Sheamus on Friday, October 7 from the DCU Center in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Gunther and Sheamus received a lot of praise for their hard-hitting match at Clash at The Castle earlier this month, which Gunther won. The fans inside Cardiff’s Principality Stadium praised both men and gave Sheamus a standing ovation after the game.
Gunther has been the champion since defeating Ricochet on SmackDown on June 10th. Sheamus has held numerous titles during his long WWE career, but he has never held the Intercontinental Championship.
