Exclusive note on WWE's plans for CM Punk vs. Kevin Owens
F4W/WON • • entertainment
Key Points:
- The upcoming SmackDown match between CM Punk and Kevin Owens for the Undisputed WWE Championship is expected to be a one-time encounter, with no plans for a prolonged feud.
- Kevin Owens is the betting favorite for the match, but this does not guarantee he will win the title; a disqualification or countout could result in an Owens victory without a title change.
- Owens recently returned from a 15-month hiatus due to neck surgery, secured a number one contender’s spot at SummerSlam, and will compete in his home country of Canada at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena.
- WWE initially removed but then reinstated Tama Tonga & Talla Tonga vs. Damian Priest & R-Truth and Blake Monroe vs. Giulia from the SmackDown preview lineup.
