5-time WWE World Champion to return at Crown Jewel and confront Gunther after his match? Exploring the chances

Gunther is all set to compete for the Crown Jewel Championship against Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel this Saturday. Amid the unpredictable outcome of this blockbuster showdown, WWE could have a few surprises lined up for the post-match. There is a possibility that a 5-time World Champion could return to confront The Ring General after his match in Saudi Arabia.

The star in question is none other than CM Punk. Although he has been on a hiatus following his barbaric Hell in a Cell match at Bad Blood, Punk has already stated that he has his sights set on the World Heavyweight Championship. This opens up the possibility of him confronting Gunther at Crown Jewel to herald a blockbuster feud for the coveted title.

While the idea is certainly exciting, the chances of it happening at Crown Jewel are extremely low. Given CM Punk's previous controversial comments about WWE's deal with Saudi Arabia, he is not expected to be travelling to the country. Rumors even suggest that The Best in the World may have requested WWE to be excluded from the event altogether.

This significantly reduces the possibility of Punk's any appearance at Crown Jewel, let alone confronting Gunther. With the next RAW also taking place in Riyadh, his involvement there seems equally unlikely. Consequently, the November 11 episode of RAW in Grand Rapids, Michigan, could be the place where the 5-time World Champion might make his triumphant return.

Additionally, there are chances Dominik Mysterio could be the next in line for Gunther's gold, as he recently earned a future World Title opportunity. This match could take place on the RAW after Crown Jewel, following which CM Punk could enter the World Heavyweight Championship picture.

Can Gunther win the Crown Jewel Championship at Crown Jewel?

Gunther is going up against a formidable opponent, Cody Rhodes, this Saturday at Crown Jewel. With both being World Champions, the match holds an unpredictability regarding who might emerge victorious. However, there are relatively high chances The Ring General could be the one to emerge triumphant.

Since making his transition to the main roster, he has only been pinned once in WWE. It makes it evident that Triple H envisions the Austrian superstar with high regard. Moreover, handing over a loss to The Ring General at this point could significantly undermine his credibility as champion. Therefore, it makes it quite unlikely that he would be defeated at Crown Jewel.

Additionally, Cody Rhodes has been dealing with a handful of problems that could cause chaos for him in this match. His ongoing rivalry with Kevin Owens might play a significant role in this clash, potentially giving Gunther an upper hand. Ultimately, this could be the decisive factor that could work against The American Nightmare.

Although the Imperium leader has slightly more chance of emerging triumphant, the outcome of this high-profile match could go in anyone's favor. Therefore, it will be interesting to see how Triple H plans the finish of this match in Saudi Arabia.
