The match is fascinating because every competitor has unfinished business. Punk and Rhodes are set to collide for the Undisputed WWE Championship at SummerSlam. Meanwhile, Sami Zayn is still chasing redemption after losing the title to Punk. As for Gunther, he remains determined to force his way back into the championship conversation after repeatedly confronting management.
With so many combustible personalities sharing the ring, the finish could be just as important as the match itself.
That said, in this listicle, we look at four possible endings Triple H could book.
#4. Gunther accidentally costs Sami Zayn the match
Although Gunther and Sami Zayn share a common goal of hurting CM Punk and Cody Rhodes, they’re hardly a cohesive team.
The Ring General has made it clear that he believes he deserves another opportunity at the Undisputed WWE Championship. On the other hand, Sami has every reason to feel he deserves revenge after losing the title to Punk heartbreakingly. That tension could boil over at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Imagine Gunther attempting to blast Cody Rhodes with a big boot, only for Rhodes to duck and the move to connect with Sami instead. Punk could immediately capitalize by planting Zayn with the GTS for the victory.
The loss would protect The Underdog from The Underground. Also, it would give WWE another reason to book Gunther and Zayn against one another in the coming weeks. More importantly, it would reinforce The Ring General’s increasingly aggressive personality without making either man look weak.
#3. Cody Rhodes abandons CM Punk before the match is over
The biggest question surrounding this match isn’t whether CM Punk and Cody Rhodes can win. Perhaps it’s whether they can coexist. Their SummerSlam title match has already been confirmed, meaning every interaction between them carries extra significance.
Cody could decide that helping Punk succeed isn’t in his best interests. Instead of turning on The Second City Saint outright, Rhodes could simply tag himself out before walking backstage. Thus, leaving Punk alone against two dangerous opponents.
Such a finish would allow Gunther and Sami to overwhelm the champion without Cody technically betraying him. Also, it would intensify the personal rivalry between Rhodes and Punk while giving the champion an excuse to blame Rhodes for abandoning him if he ends up taking the loss.
#2. Sami Zayn pins CM Punk to perhaps earn another Undisputed WWE Championship opportunity
Nothing would immediately strengthen Sami Zayn’s case for another title match more than perhaps pinning the reigning champion.
Ever since losing the Undisputed WWE Championship, Sami has looked determined to climb back into contention. Thus, Saturday Night’s Main Event presents the perfect opportunity to remind everyone that Punk never truly put him away decisively over the long term.
After Gunther softens Punk up, Sami could hit the Helluva Kick and score a huge victory. Not only would that restore Zayn’s momentum, but it would also create an intriguing dilemma for WWE.
Should Sami receive another title opportunity after defeating the champion? Would Cody Rhodes accept someone else jumping the line before SummerSlam?
A finish like this would instantly complicate the championship picture. Also, it would keep all four competitors relevant.
#1. Gunther attacks everyone after the match ends
Sometimes the biggest statement comes after the bell rings. Regardless of who wins, Gunther could decide that he has had enough of standing behind everyone else in the championship hierarchy.
After the match concludes, The Ring General could destroy everyone in sight. He could level Sami Zayn with a vicious Powerbomb before turning his attention to Cody Rhodes and finally CM Punk. Thus, leaving all three men lying inside Madison Square Garden.
The message would be simple: Gunther isn’t interested in alliances. He wants the Undisputed WWE Championship. This scenario would instantly re-establish him as one of the most dangerous stars. Thus, creating uncertainty ahead of SummerSlam. Punk would suddenly have to worry not only about Cody Rhodes but also about an enraged Gunther waiting for another opportunity to attack him.
Also, it would explain why Gunther agreed to team with Sami in the first place. Rather than forming a genuine alliance, he would merely be using the match to get closer to the championship scene before making his intentions clear.
