Chad Gable battled CM Punk at WWE’s Road to Survivor Series: WarGames!
WWE Crown Jewel is continuing to make headlines as WWE moves closer to another major international event, with several storylines expected to shape the company’s programming in the coming weeks. However, the focus will soon shift to Survivor Series, one of the biggest events left on the calendar, as rivalries and championship pursuits build momentum.
Amid the growing anticipation for the upcoming premium live events, superstars continued their in-ring action at a live event on October 29, 2026.
One of the show’s biggest talking points was Chad Gable’s surprising pinfall victory over former heavyweight Champion CM Punk. The two competitors squared off at the Covelli Centre in Youngstown, Ohio, as part of the Road to Survivor Series: WarGames live event tour.

Chad Gable defeats CM Punk in first-ever singles match
The biggest result of the evening came when Intercontinental Champion defeated Punk in a non-title singles contest. The match was particularly interesting because it marked the first-ever singles meeting between the two WWE superstars.
Despite The Second City Saint being one of the company’s biggest stars, Gable managed to secure a significant victory. The closing moments featured a series of back-and-forth pinfall attempts before the Intercontinental Champion caught Punk with a roll-up to secure the three-count.
The result represents a major victory for Gable, who has been rebuilding his momentum following his return to his original identity after his El Grande Americano run.
Gable won the Intercontinental Championship by defeating Penta at SummerSlam 2026 and has since been involved in several notable title defences. His victory over Punk could further strengthen his position as one of the prominent performers on the RAW main roster.
Although the result came at a non-televised house show, defeating a top star like Punk is certainly a noteworthy achievement for the reigning intercontinental champion, who suffered an injury in the recent match.
