WWE SmackDown: Kevin Owens Set to Face CM Punk for Championship

Kevin Owens is scheduled to compete against CM Punk for the Undisputed WWE Championship on the upcoming episode of WWE SmackDown, taking place in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Owens is currently favored to win the title according to betting odds.

Reports suggest that regardless of the outcome of the match, the rivalry between Owens and Punk is not expected to continue for an extended period. Wrestling journalist Bryan Alvarez indicated that the match is planned as a singular event, despite the history and tension between the two wrestlers.

Owens earned his title shot after winning a four-way match at WWE SummerSlam, where he triumphed over GUNTHER, Sami Zayn, and Finn Balor. He has expressed the personal significance of the Toronto location, linking it to his past injury and the ease of access for his family.
