That said, several variables are at play for the upcoming title match between Punk and Owens. Fans might not see a clean, one-on-one showdown on August 21. Here are five WWE stars who could disrupt the Undisputed WWE Championship match between CM Punk and Kevin Owens.
#5. Gunther
Gunther has had several chances to win the Undisputed WWE Championship since WrestleMania 42. He challenged Cody Rhodes multiple times and was also part of the Triple Threat Match at Night of Champions with Sami Zayn. However, The Ring General could not win the title.
At SummerSlam, Gunther had another opportunity. He entered the Fatal 4-Way to determine CM Punk’s next challenger, only for Kevin Owens to return and win the match.
It’s important to note that The Ring General was not pinned in the finish. That could leave Gunther frustrated with the situation. He could interrupt CM Punk vs. Kevin Owens and argue that he deserves another opportunity. It would also give the Austrian star something to do after SummerSlam. WWE could use the interruption to start his next major feud.
#4. Randy Orton
Randy Orton has already made it clear that he wants to become a 15-time World Champion. The Viper returned at SummerSlam and cost Cody Rhodes his match against CM Punk with an RKO. On the following SmackDown, Orton explained his actions and made an even bigger claim. He said that he would win his 15th world title and that Cody would not become champion again as long as he was around.
His attention is currently on Cody. However, The Apex Predator still has his eyes set on the championship. When CM Punk and Kevin Owens are in the middle of their title match, Orton could see an opportunity to get involved.
That would also fit in with what Orton said: he wants the title, regardless of who is holding it.
#3. Cody Rhodes
Cody Rhodes is furious with Randy Orton after The Viper cost him the Undisputed WWE Championship match at SummerSlam. Their confrontation on the August 7 episode of SmackDown made it clear that their issues are now personal.
That could lead to an interesting situation on August 21. If Orton tries to interfere in CM Punk vs. Kevin Owens, Rhodes could follow him to the ring. He would not be there to help Punk or get another shot at the championship.
Cody’s only goal would be to stop Orton. The two could then start fighting around ringside, creating enough chaos to affect the title match. It would also keep the QB1 involved in the show without immediately putting him back into the championship picture.
#2. Finn Balor
Finn Balor was very close to becoming the next challenger for the Undisputed WWE Championship. He was originally scheduled to face Sami Zayn at SummerSlam. However, Nick Aldis added Gunther and then Kevin Owens to the match. Owens eventually won, and the Irish star was also not the one who was pinned.
Balor could appear during the Undisputed WWE Championship match between CM Punk and Kevin Owens, but not to disrupt it. Balor could try to contain the chaos if someone like Gunther tries to interfere. Finn could come out to stop him. This could lead to a feud between Balor and Gunther while keeping The Prince close to the Undisputed WWE Championship picture.
#1. Sami Zayn could disrupt CM Punk vs. Kevin Owens
Sami Zayn is still looking for another opportunity at the Undisputed WWE Championship. He won the title at Night of Champions but lost it to CM Punk just nine days later. He then entered the Fatal 4-Way at SummerSlam, only for Kevin Owens to return and pin him to become the No. 1 Contender.
Things became even more interesting on the following SmackDown. Sami offered to help Owens prepare for his match against Punk, but The Prizefighter rejected the offer and made it clear that he wanted to defeat Punk on his own.
That could come back to haunt Owens. Sami could get involved in the title match because he still wants the championship. If his actions cost Owens the match, The Prizefighter would have every reason to blame him.
There is another possibility, though. Sami could actually help Owens defeat Punk. That could create a completely different situation between the two longtime frenemies and give Sami a reason to expect a championship opportunity of his own.
Either way, Zayn’s involvement could have major consequences for the title picture.
