Let’s run it down.

- WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match: Gunther (c) vs. CM Punk
- WWE Women’s Championship Match: Tiffany Stratton (c) vs. Jade Cargill

WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match: Gunther (c) vs. CM Punk
It’s been twelve long years since CM Punk reached the top of the WWE mountain. At WWE Night of Champions, he came so close to winning it all again against Undisputed WWE Champion and bitter rival John Cena. Punk showed the world that he had a ton of gas left in the tank when he overcame the odds and won a Gauntlet Match on WWE Raw to challenge Gunther for the WWE World Heavyweight Title.
CM Punk knows his back is against the wall, only having two weeks to prepare for this bout. But as he told the WWE Universe, he’s not an ordinary man; he’s the “Best in the World.” Gunther would quickly shut that notion down, saying that the “Best in the World” is the one who’s holding the top title, and that man is Gunther.
Punk has been on both sides of this situation, both as the underdog challenger and as the dominant champion. However, Punk has never faced a man of Gunther’s caliber. The Austrian onslaught that is the “Ring General” has had record-breaking title runs, and that’s because he’s nothing but business inside that sacred mat.
That said, this isn’t Punk’s first rodeo. CM Punk has slayed monsters and beaten legends to get to where he is today. And with a WrestleMania main event under his belt, Punk certainly wants to be the top champion once more in his second stint with the WWE.
Whichever side you’re on, one thing’s for certain: this match could end up being the best on both nights, considering who’s in it.
Prediction: CM Punk
Roman Reigns & Jey Uso vs. Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed
Roman Reigns is back, and he and his cousin Jey Uso are on the warpath against Paul Heyman and his band of brutes, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. Seth Rollins might be out, but the devastation he caused at WrestleMania 41 left his group with a target on their backs. Reigns is out for blood, and Jey is more than willing to help out with the cause.
Reigns took it extremely personally when the man he trusted, his “Wise Man,” turned his back on him, and he’s here to give him the ass-whooping of a lifetime, even if it means going through Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed.
Reigns has made it apparent that he’s not the one who destroyed “The Bloodline,” it was the one whispering in his ear. Now, he’s ready to right the wrongs of the last five years, and the first step is to take out Reed, Breakker, and then eventually Paul Heyman and Seth Rollins.
It’s been four months since the “OTC” saw action. However, if anyone is as hot as ever, it’s Roman Reigns. It’s Jey Uso and Roman Reigns taking on Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed in a mega tag team match; who’s going to come out on top?
Prediction: Roman Reigns and Jey Uso
