CM Punk is headed to Saudi Arabia; Gunther regains World Heavyweight Championship

Looking at all the angles from a noteworthy edition of Raw

A familiar sight: a staredown between John Cena and CM Punk/WWE

Extra Mustard is a weekly column looking at the highs and lows–and everything in between–in combat sports and beyond.

For one last time, John Cena is feuding with CM Punk.

That means Punk is headed to Saudi Arabia, which is a source of controversy in the wrestling world.

And Gunther is the new World Heavyweight Champion, ending Jey Uso’s title run at only 51 days.

In other words, last night was a very eventful Raw.

If that wasn’t enough, Bayley also returned to attack Becky Lynch. R-Truth–who will now be known by Ron “The Truth” Killings–cut a tremendous promo on the announce table. Killings’ time on the microphone was short, but extremely effective. Killings promised that he isn’t here to be a sideshow, which opens a new world of possibilities for him.

We saw the return of Nikki Bella, and I’ll be shocked if she and her sister Brie Bella don’t win the women’s tag titles this summer at Evolution. The bracket for the King and Queen of the Ring tournaments were also released, which at first glance looks like a chance to put Cody Rhodes back in position for a world title shot.
