Gunther Beats Sami Zayn, Will Face Cody Rhodes at WWE Crown Jewel
Sami Zayn did not have another “magic bullet” to beat Gunther last night on Monday Night Raw.
After ending Gunther’s 666-day Intercontinental title reign at WrestleMania XL, Zayn challenged “The Ring General” for the World title.
Gunther put Zayn away with the sleeper hold to retain the belt.
That means Gunther will face WWE champion Cody Rhodes in Saudi Arabia for the “Crown Jewel” title on Nov. 2.
Liv Morgan vs. Nia Jax is the other champion vs. champion match set up for the women’s Crown Jewel title.
Speaking of Rhodes, Kevin Owens attacked him after Saturday’s Bad Blood show. WWE cameras did not film this incident, and it was circulated over the weekend on social media.
Intercontinental champion Jey Uso also retained his title with a victory over Xavier Woods. After the match, former champion Bron Breakker attacked both men.
MEET YOU AT THE PUB
Sheamus won an Old Fashioned Donnybrook over Pete Dunne. Sheamus had the home-field advantage in the Irish pub setting.
Lyra Valkyria scored the winning pinfall as she teamed with Zelina Vega, Natalya, Kayden Carter, and Katana Chance to beat The Unholy Union and Pure Fusion Collective.
CM Punk said he was going away for a while after his brutal win over Drew McIntyre in the Hell in a Cell match. Seth Rollins said that he would send Punk into retirement when he shows up again.
