Three matches are official for the October 7 WWE Raw, including a World Heavyweight title bout and an Intercontinental Championship tilt.
After weeks of teasing the match, WWE made it official during Monday’s Raw that Gunther will defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Sami Zayn on the Monday, October 7 episode.

The Intercontinental title is also on the line on next week’s Raw, with Jey Uso defending against Xavier Woods.
A Donnybrook match is also official for next week’s episode, with Sheamus and Pete Dunne squaring off in the no holds barred stipulation bout.
The announced lineup for the Monday, October 7 WWE Raw:
- World Heavyweight Champion Gunther defends against Sami Zayn
- WWE Intercontinental Champion Jey Uso defends against Xavier Woods
- Donnybrook match: Sheamus vs. Pete Dunne
