He is perhaps a direct replacement for Seth Rollins who picked up a <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2025\/07\/14\/it-doesnt-look-good-triple-h-offers-seth-rollins-injury-update-after-evolution\/\" target=\"_self\">serious injury in their match on Saturday<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Rollins\u2019 right-hand man, Bron Breakker, is also in the gauntlet, which gives him a chance to see his vision still come to fruition. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It\u2019s hard to see either Knight or Breakker run the gauntlet, along with Penta. Jey Uso is a <ins datetime=\"2025-07-14T15:09:25+00:00\">hot favourite but another match with Gunther doesn\u2019t scream SummerSlam box office.<\/ins><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">That leaves CM Punk as the most exciting person in the gauntlet match.

But a new champion could bring a surprise new challenger out of the woods. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Anyone who does step up to Naomi should proceed with caution.
