At Saturday Night’s Main Event, Undisputed WWE Champion CM Punk will join forces with Cody Rhodes against Gunther and Sami Zayn.
At WWE Night of Champions, Zayn overcame Rhodes and Gunther in a Triple Threat Match to capture the Undisputed WWE Championship. Days later, Rhodes defeated Jey Uso to earn the right to challenge Zayn in a rematch, but was taken out by The Ring General on Raw to inadvertently pave the way for Punk to replace The American Nightmare and ultimately end Zayn’s nine day reign.
Back on SmackDown, Punk and Rhodes came face to face and agreed to a WWE Title showdown at SummerSlam.
Gunther charged into Nick Aldis’ office to take issue as the General Manager was already talking with Zayn on the phone. In response, SmackDown’s shot caller opted to make the tag team match for Saturday Night’s Main Event, a move that would lead Gunther to attack Aldis.
In the realm of absolute chaos on the road to SummerSlam, will Punk and Rhodes be able to co-exist? Will Gunther and Zayn?
