According to a recent report from Fightful Select, the WWE Superstars are set to fly back from Saudi Arabia immediately after the premium live event for the upcoming weekly shows. It must be pointed out that this Monday, the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh will not only host the June 30 edition of RAW, but the July 4 episode of Friday Night SmackDown will also be pre-taped after the red brand.

The Night of Champions was in serious jeopardy due to rising military tensions between Iran and the United States of America. Matters became worse for the Stamford-based company as some of its employees were reportedly left stranded in Qatar while traveling to Saudi Arabia. However, the wrestling promotion decided to go through with the PLE.

Speaking on the Cheap Heat podcast, the 45-year-old predicted the match to end in controversy. Rosenberg noted that he won't mind R-Truth taking out CM Punk to induce a DQ finish because of his desire to dethrone The Cenation Leader.

"I wouldn't hate R-Truth in the main event [CM Punk vs. John Cena] at Night of Champions, taking out CM Punk and getting the DQ, and then you just see him staring down like, 'Nah, this is mine. I'm getting this title,'" he said.
