WWE confirms No Holds Barred match for CM Punk and Kevin Owens
WWE has officially announced that CM Punk and Kevin Owens will compete in a No Holds Barred match during the November 6 episode of SmackDown. The stipulation change was confirmed during the October 30 broadcast, removing traditional wrestling restrictions and allowing both competitors to use weapons and fight outside the ring without the risk of disqualification.
The rivalry stems from recent tensions regarding the Undisputed WWE Championship. During a segment on the October 23 episode of SmackDown, Punk accused Owens of sabotaging his championship reign, while Owens claimed he should currently be the titleholder. The two previously faced each other in a championship match on August 21 in Toronto, which involved interference from Sami Zayn.
Separately, speculation has emerged regarding CM Punk potentially pursuing the Intercontinental Championship held by Chad Gable, following a recent live event match between the two in Ohio.
