CM Punk’s war for redemption. Gunther’s mission for dominance.
It’s not just about pride—it’s about era-defining legacy.
Two titans. One canvas. No forgiveness.

The last time CM Punk won a WWE world title was in 2013. Since his return, Punk has been dealing with Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins. Punk did get an opportunity to fight John Cena earlier this year, but he fell short of beating the Undisputed Champion. Punk has not faced a man like Gunther, whose been a dominant force in WWE for a good portion of his run.

In fact, Gunther has been a champion for more than 80% of his WWE run. That’s an impressive feat that not many wrestlers can match, including Punk himself. The former WWE Champion has a tall mountain to climb tonight. Can CM Punk beat Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship?

Jade Cargill finally gets her opportunity to challenge for the WWE Women’s Championship. Ever since she made her WWE debut, Cargill has been touted as a special attraction and the future of the WWE women's division. But so has Tiffany Stratton. The WWE Women’s Champion has held down the Smackdown division for 210 days; beating established names such as Nia Jax, Charlotte Flair, and Bayley. Can Stratton further establish herself by beating Jade Cargill? Or will this be Cargill’s crowning moment?

Roman Reigns returns to get revenge on the men who have made his life a living hell since WrestleMania. While he can’t put his hands on Seth Rollins, he can surely do damage to Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, but that’s easier said than done. Breaker and Reed destroyed these two on Monday night RAW; Can they repeat their performsnce tonight? Or will original Tribal Chief and Jey serve them some humble pie?
