Gunther vs. CM Punk for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship was the best match of the night. These two have worked live events together, but it was hard to tell how the matchup would translate to the big stage. Gunther is currently one of the best wrestlers in the world, but it was unclear if Punk could compete at his level.

After CM Punk defeated Gunther to become the new WWE World Heavyweight champion at WWE SummerSlam Night 1 on Saturday at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, rival Seth Rollins cashed in his Money in the Bank contract and immediately pinned Punk to take his belt.

WWE fans might not see Gunther on their screens for a while after his defeat to CM Punk at SummerSlam. The Ring General lost his World Heavyweight Championship in a gruelling main event on night one of the PLE.
