Cathy Kelley caught up with Punk after his win over McIntyre and the former WWE Champion revealed that he was done with the Scotsman. The Second City Saint wanted to get into the World Heavyweight Championship picture.

In the main event of WWE Bash In Berlin, Gunther successfully defended the World Heavyweight Championship against Randy Orton. This marked The Ring General's first title defense since capturing the title at SummerSlam.

Gunther's next challenger is yet to be revealed. However, with CM Punk expressing his interest in challenging for the world title, a match between him and the reigning champion could turn into reality.

However, considering the bad blood between Punk and McIntyre, the feud between the two arch-rivals seems far from over. They could potentially cross paths in a trilogy contest in the near future.
