During the up-and-down Bad Blood PLE, one of the three highlights was Paul “Triple H” Levesque revealing the concept of overarching champions, bringing together the main men’s and women’s title holders from both Monday Night Raw and Friday Night Smackdown in the ultimate crossover event. That’s brought Cody Rhodes and Gunther into each other’s orbits and hopefully provides the international audience what they are expecting. Rhodes, the American Nightmare, is the ultimate babyface, but onlookers have observed just how over Heel Gunther is on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, which could create an interesting dynamic in the Crown Jewel PLE.
The belt is ridiculously beautiful and could be worth upwards of $1 million based on having 50 carats of diamonds. It’s so impressive, the winner won’t even get to keep it, instead they’ll be awarded a championship ring, similar to the ones given to Super Bowl champions and surely to be added as a cheat code in future matches if won by Gunther as his character continues to evolve into one of the best bad guys the promotion has seen in recent years.
