Four Superstars Who Could Replace Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther at Crown Jewel

As a seasoned wrestling enthusiast with over three decades of following WWE, I must say that the potential matches being discussed here are truly intriguing. It brings back memories of the epic rivalries and iconic moments that have shaped the landscape of professional wrestling.

As a die-hard WWE fan, I’m thrilled about the massive announcement made at Bad Blood in Atlanta, Georgia. The elite champions from Raw and Smackdown are set to clash in a historic match to crown a fresh champion exclusively for Saudi Arabia. This upcoming bout promises to be electrifying, and I can hardly wait! It appears that WWE is fully committed to their current lineup for this event, but it’s exciting to ponder over who might step into Cody Rhodes and Gunther’s potential slot at Crown Jewel. While it wouldn’t come as a complete surprise, each contender already has compelling narratives and reasons to vie for the world title. Not to mention, they’ve all had previous encounters, adding fuel to the anticipation for any of these four superstars who could potentially shake things up!

Kevin Owens

On a generally tranquil episode, featuring an unusually lengthy segment for its small storyline lineup, The Rock’s comeback overshadows all other plotlines. However, some fans might have overlooked a social media-exclusive event where Kevin Owens betrayed and attacked WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. This incident paves the way for Cody, who is now set to battle Kevin Owens for the title. If an incensed Cody demands the match immediately, WWE has ample time to bestow the belt upon Kevin Owens and prepare for a showdown with the World Heavyweight Champion.

Gunther vs. Kevin Owens would almost certainly be very, very good. However, it isn’t a must-see or marquee match like Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther. The rationale for Kevin Owens winning is likely to hinge on the unlikely outcome where both Cody and Gunther are removed from the match. In that scenario, there is only one or two World Heavyweight Champions that WWE should consider for the spot opposite Owens.

Sami Zayn

Sami Zayn and his long-time friend-turned-rival Kevin Owens are both vying for a chance to challenge for a world championship. Unlike Owens, however, Zayn managed to get some spotlight by ambushing Gunther in the ring during Bad Blood. Despite losing his match against Gunther, which many predicted would happen, it seems their rivalry isn’t over yet. In fact, there’s still a possibility that Zayn could claim the title following this encounter, but before Crown Jewel.

Sami Zayn vs Kevin Owens is a classic match that has never been given the main event it deserves. While the Saudi Arabia shows are controversial, they are indeed being treated as a major stage where big things happen—seeing those two end that show would be a significant payoff to a story of two phenomenal careers intertwined. Even if Kevin does not make it to the match, Zayn has a history with Cody Rhodes as well. The two are friends, sure, but Cody has a beef with his best friend. That loyalty he worked so hard to build back with Owens may not disappear so quickly this time. All of this is contingent on him somehow capturing the title he is just so good at fighting for.

CM Punk

As a fervent fan, I’m expressing my thoughts about the potential future of WWE. If Sami Zayn’s match is indeed a one-time event, Gunther needs a worthy challenger for his title soon. It’s not an immediate concern, but down the line. They could pit him against Smackdown’s champion in the main event at Crown Jewel. However, WWE will inevitably require a new contender, and that role seems destined for CM Punk. This could lead to a title match between himself and Gunther at Survivor Series. This prediction stems from the fact that CM Punk has shown discomfort with shows in Saudi Arabia, which aligns with his character. Moreover, it’s been a year since his dramatic return, and a title match could serve as a fitting commemoration of this occasion. Yet, he could still challenge for the title earlier, thereby concluding a feud that WWE might find challenging to resolve on their own.

As a passionate gamer, if I were keen on witnessing an epic showdown like Crown Jewel, this match between CM Punk and Cody Rhodes is just what the doctor ordered! Their previous verbal sparring was electrifying, really amping up the tension for the Royal Rumble. Yet, the audience’s overwhelmingly favorable reaction to their exchanges has made a one-on-one battle an absolute must.

Randy Orton

Randy Orton stands out as an appealing choice due to his potential to claim either world championship and engage in a rivalry with the current world champion. No matter the situation, Randy would undoubtedly add excitement to any title bout. Moreover, it’s suggested that if he were to step in for Cody Rhodes or Gunther in their Crown Jewel match, the narrative would be even more compelling. As a WWE legend with a strong fanbase among Saudi Arabia’s royal family, his involvement could potentially influence the Crown Jewel title match booking process.

It’s plausible that Randy Orton could defeat Gunther for the title; they had a title fight earlier this year, but it’s unlikely. A fascinating twist could be Orton snatching the world title from Gunther, setting up a mentor versus protege clash with Rhodes. This skirmish might not involve the title initially, saving the epic showdown for bigger events like Royal Rumble or WrestleMania. Such a storyline could also rekindle the now-dormant RKO team rivalry for a future spectacle.

WWE won’t replace Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther at Crown Jewel.

On Monday night’s RAW, it was made official that Gunther will square off against Cody Rhodes in Saudi Arabia. While we eagerly await this match-up, let’s ponder the possibilities of what might have been. Keep in mind, the card is always fluid and subject to change.
