The July 14 edition of WWE Raw took place at the BJCC Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Alabama, where an exciting development unfolded: the challenger for Gunther’s title has been decided. The episode featured a match including CM Punk, Jey Uso, Lanite, Penta, and Bron Breakker, with each competitor vying for a shot at Gunther’s championship. After a series of eliminations, the winners earned the opportunity to compete at SummerSlam.
Bron Breakker and Penta initiated the action, with Breakker eventually eliminating Lanite. Jey Uso then entered to conclude the match. The bout took a commercial break during a heated exchange between Uso and Breakker, marking a special moment as both are second-generation wrestlers. In a twist, Bronson Reed interfered, allowing Breakker to eliminate Uso.
CM Punk was the final opponent for Breakker in this gauntlet-style match. After sending Breakker out of the ring, Punk faced interference from Reed but managed to fend him off, delivering his signature moves including an elkbow and the Anaconda Vise. Reed attempted another attack, but there was no disqualification called. In the end, Punk countered a spear from Uso and executed the GTS finisher to secure the victory. This win means CM Punk will challenge Gunther at SummerSlam.
With the challenger now set, fans eagerly await the big showdown at MetLife Stadium on August 2-3. This announcement alone has heightened excitement for WWE’s biggest summer event.
