The American Nightmare and The Ring General were involved in an in-ring segment on the October 25 episode of the blue brand. They traded words on the mic, but things turned physical after Cody Rhodes attacked Gunther. Ludwig Kaiser came out to help the World Heavyweight Champion, but Randy Orton evened the odds as he helped Cody fend off the heel stars.

The Viper planted Gunther with an RKO during the match, and Cody Rhodes nailed Ludwig Kaiser with a Crossroads. He then pinned him, and the babyfaces won. While they were celebrating, Kevin Owens sneaked into the ring and attacked Randy Orton with a steel chair.

Gunther locked the Undisputed WWE Champion in a sleeper hold and refused to let go, even though several officials tried getting him to release the hold. At Crown Jewel, it'll be Cody vs. Gunther and Randy vs. Kevin Owens.
