According to PWInsider.com, “The Best in the World,” CM Punk, is set to face the reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion, Chad Gable, in a singles match during a live event in Youngstown, Ohio, on October 29th. The match is being promoted as a special RAW vs. SmackDown event, with a triple threat match for the Undisputed WWE Championship as the main event, featuring Sami Zayn, “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes, and “The Prize Fighter” Kevin Owens.
The report also mentioned a significant caveat: cards are always “subject to change.” This is a common practice in the wrestling industry, where events are advertised with impressive lineups, accompanied by disclaimers that allow for last-minute cancellations. However, many fans today are aware that future main events are often tested at house shows, typically with inconclusive finishes to set up a more definitive outcome for televised events. This could serve as a way to gauge the chemistry between wrestlers for a potential longer feud.
Other matches announced for the event include Oba Femi vs. Bron Breakker, WWE United States Champion Trick Williams vs. Damian Priest, and WWE Women’s Champion Chelsea Green vs. Nia Jax.
