Paul Heyman has revealed his favor.

Last night's episode of SmackDown featured a segment with Nick Aldis welcoming Paul Heyman and Gunther into his office. Aldis confirmed that the Ring General had joined the Blue Brand and handed him a contract.

Cody Rhodes' music started playing in the arena before the former World Champion could sign the deal, however, and Gunther walked out of the frame in anger over his moment being stolen. Heyman assured Nick that he would take care of the matter before leaving.


The camera then cut to the ring with the American Nightmare getting on the mic, but Paul Heyman interrupted his promo. After some back and forth, Heyman revealed that the contract was for a WWE Championship match between Gunther and Cody for the upcoming Clash In Italy PPV. He confirmed that it was the favor he owed the wrestling veteran for saving him from Seth Rollins.

Paul started walking out on the ramp as Gunther made his way to the ring through the crowd. Though Cody Rhodes was ready for the attack this time, and he managed to fend off the career killer. The WWE Champion grabbed the mic again to end the segment and told his opponent that on SmackDown, he was easy to find but hard to beat.
