However, Sami Zayn didn’t win on his own, as Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae ran interference during the main event. If that wasn’t enough, Kevin Owens showed up to take out his fellow Canadian, but that backfired.

KO accidentally laid out CM Punk with the Undisputed WWE Title meant for Sami Zayn.

The match ended with the self-proclaimed Last Real Good Guy giving The Prizefighter a low blow and dropping The Best in the World with the Helluva Kick to pull off an upset.

Rumor has it that some people were against CM Punk losing the Undisputed WWE Championship, but the creative went ahead with the plan to serve a long-term story.

According to Self Made Session, WWE has plans to put the Undisputed WWE Title on Kevin Owens, which is why the title changed hands last Friday.

“My brain immediately went to, ‘Oh, Punk should just win this back at the Worlds Collide show in Chicago, head-to-head with All Out. Like, they should just do Punk and Sami.’ And they may. They may do that. But what I found interesting was that once I picked the brain of people the next day, the feeling was less so that and more so an expectation that this is a way to get the belt to Kevin Owens, which was interesting. What I do know is that people, when you talk to them, they go, ‘Oh yeah, Sami got the belt because he’s going to put over Kevin.’ And so that’s kind of what’s happening there.” (H/T- RingsideNews)

Who’s next for the Undisputed WWE Champion Sami Zayn?

Sami Zayn will appear on the upcoming episode of SmackDown to find out who will step up to him for his Undisputed Championship.

There’s no word yet on whether he will defend his title at Money in the Bank on October 10, 2026. However, plans are in place for him to face Roman Reigns in a champion vs. champion match at Crown Jewel in November.

That means Sami Zayn will hold on to his gold until at least Crown Jewel 2026 before dropping it to Kevin Owens.
