Huge WWE Star Allegedly Guaranteed To Win World Title At SNME

CM Punk and Jey Uso will fight each other for the vacant WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Saturday Night’s Main Event on November 1.

The title was vacated recently after WWE RAW General Manager Adam Pearce revealed that Seth Rollins has been sidelined for an unknown amount of time because of the injury he suffered at Crown Jewel during his match with Cody Rhodes.

Speaking on the Cheap Heat Podcast, Peter Rosenberg and his co-hosts discussed the upcoming match between Punk and Uso at SNME. Rosenberg claimed that he’s 100% sure Punk will walk out of the match as the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

I think Jey would have been minus to win. Like he would have been the favorite. He would have been like minus 200 to win the whole thing. I think that Jimmy winning would have been surprising. Um, and I think at this point it kind of makes it a guarantee that Punk wins.

Like, it can’t be that they’re going back to Jey with the world title right now. Like, I just can’t see that being a possibility. [No, the title will be on CM Punk in December.] It’s not a prediction. It’s a spoiler. (From 6:48)

Neither CM Punk Nor Jey Uso Will Win At WWE SNME

Bully Ray and his co-host Nic Nemeth also talked about the same SNME match featuring Jey Uso and CM Punk on the Busted Open podcast. Nemeth provided a unique take, saying that he thinks neither of the challengers will win the WWE World title.

I don’t think so. Isn’t that weird? I don’t think either one of those guys are gonna have it. I don’t know. Punk doesn’t need it. Jey doesn’t need it. But to have it, cool. It’s great.

To freaking be world champion is one of the coolest damn things ever noo matter where you are or what you’ve done, period. But to be so beloved by a crowd one way or another to not need it is the greatest attribute in pro wrestling history.
