Sami Zayn kostar Gunther titeln i WWE SmackDown-match

19 juni 2026

Cody Rhodes försvarade sitt Undisputed WWE Championship mot Gunther i WWE SmackDown-avsnittet den 19 juni. Sami Zayn agerade gästdomare och påverkade matchutfallet genom sin inblandning.

Matchen ägde rum på T-Mobile Center i Kansas City, Missouri. Rhodes och Gunther tävlade jämnt fram till dess att Zayn blev involverad. Zayn drog ut en domare ur ringen under ett försök till pin och räknade sedan snabbt för att ge segern till Rhodes.

Rhodes begärde en omstart efter det initiala avslutet. Gunther och Rhodes fortsatte matchen fram till dess att Zayn klev in i ringen och utdelade en Helluva Kick mot Gunther, vilket ledde till diskvalificering.

Bakom kulisserna argumenterade Gunther med funktionärer och krävde en ny titelchans under Night of Champions. Rhodes behöll mästerskapstiteln efter händelseförloppet.

Vad folk säger

Fans reagerade på att Sami Zayns inblandning som gästdomare kostade Gunther chansen på Undisputed WWE-titeln mot Cody Rhodes under SmackDown. Vissa beskrev det kaotiska slutet som vilt och förväntar sig en kommande trippelmatch. Andra kritiserade bokningen för att få Gunther att framstå som dum eller ifrågasatte Zayns avsikter under attackerna mot både brottarna och domaren.

Well that was certainly a way to go about the WWE Title match.

Gunther turns on his own hand picked ref in Sami Zayn, only for Sami to screw him with a fast count.

I guess it's fine because it's not the end of the story, but they made Gunther look really dumb there.#SmackDown

Sami Zayn may have just costed Gunther the Undisputed WWE Championship as he pulls the referee out of the ring, damn.

they knew #SmackDown during a Brazil game in the World Cup was a challenge, so they decided to give us pure CHAOS to kick off the show.

Sami Zayn cost Gunther the title shot, not once but TWICE, he also hit Cody Rhodes with the belt in the face.

what a WILD start of the night.…
