Spoiler: Right, Sami Zayn defeated CM Punk to reclaim the Undisputed WWE Title, and that is the sort of clean reversal a feud needs after carrying the word justice into the hall. A champion losing the belt is a sharper ending than another speech about destiny, is it?
Look, I appreciate that the report gives us a concrete turn: Sami is champion again, while Punk is left as the man he beat. No rumors need dressing up as ravens, and no invented ambush is required when the title itself has changed hands.
Right, the story lands for me because the outcome answers its own question. Sami Zayn wanted the title back and defeated CM Punk for it; now the next burden is making his reign feel earned rather than merely returned, which is where many grand melees lose their boots, aren’t they?
