Before their Intercontinental title match at WrestleMania 40, Gunther and Sami Zayn will meet for a contract signing.

WWE has announced that a Gunther-Zayn contract signing will take place on Raw this coming Monday. It's the third-to-last episode of the show before WrestleMania.

Zayn was confirmed as Gunther's WrestleMania challenger when he won a number one contender's gauntlet match on Raw earlier this week. Chad Gable, Shinsuke Nakamura, Bronson Reed, Ricochet, and JD McDonagh were the other gauntlet participants.

The match came down to Zayn and Gable before Zayn reversed an ankle lock into a pin to get the victory. Gunther then made his way out to the stage and stared down Zayn.

The full gauntlet match can be watched below:

Having held the title for more than 600 days, Gunther is the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion in WWE history. He's been champion since June 2022.

Monday's Raw is being held at PNC Arena in Raleigh, North Carolina. Here's what's been announced for the show:
