CM Punk failed to win the Undisputed WWE Championship at Night of Champions 2025.
Tonight, at the June 28 edition of Night of Champions, John Cena and CM Punk clashed against each other after almost a decade for the Undisputed WWE Championship. In an extremely closely contested clash, both men took each other to their limits.
However, toward the closing stage of the bout, fans witnessed Cena take out the referee, before Seth Rollins and his faction interfered and teased cashing in the Money in the Bank contract. However, after Sami Zayn, Penta, Cena, and Punk all took out Rollins and his men, The Leader of Cenation and The Second City Saint were able to continue their singles bout.
Soaking in the positive crowd reaction, Cena teased a major character shift as he hugged Punk in the middle of the ring. However, looking forward to repeating his actions from Elimination Chamber, John Cena tried to lowblow CM Punk, who was already prepared.
Despite his precautions, Punk would then catch a stray from Rollins who hit him with the briefcase, before Cena capitalized on the moment. The 17-time World Champion then screwed the Chicago-native and scored the victory over him.
With his victory tonight in Riyadh, John Cena is now all set to continue his title reign and possibly face The American Nightmare at SummerSlam 2025.
Despite The Loss, CM Punk Recently Brutally Roasted John Cena On WWE SmackDown
Yesterday, during the main event of the June 27 edition of SmackDown, CM Punk brutally roasted John Cena while dressed as the ‘Dr.Thuganomics.’
Below is the entire Punk-Cena segment from SmackDown:
Yo, check it, this is Basic Punkanomics.
Don’t adjust your television set, your eyes are working just right. This clown plagiarised my pipebomb so now I’m stealing Word Life.
You had to rip me off to cut your best promo, just to distract from the fact that we all see you move in slow mo.
Remember when he used to rap? You deserve all the criticism, you’re like a Temu Macklemore with Mackle-less rhythm.
He said I’m a problem, he called me a player hater, let’s be honest, John Cena’s buried more talent than the Undertaker. That’s why he’s the champ and went and lost all his respects, but John I get it, I’d retire too if this place rehired my ex.
If you never said your prayers, ate your vitamins or fixed your bald spot, you wouldn’t be a pro wrestler, you’d be a Boston Mall Cop. But hey, he gets good movie roles that much is a fact, and then you see Batista act and you realise John ain’t that.
Same shirt, same hat, man your persona stayed tragic. You’re like a fish bellied white Hulk Hogan but somehow more problematic. Yo, when it comes to Best in the World, I’m your vessel, because millions chant my name and at you they chant, ‘You can’t wrestle!’
Get it in while you can in six months he’ll be gone, I’ll still be here having fun, he won’t have time for you little people anymore, he’ll be busy washing underwear for James Gunn. He’s a superhero now, he works for DC, but no matter how hard you try, you’ll always be the Marine to me. And that’s straight to DVD, better find a PS3, I now understand, ‘You can’t see me.’
It’s a hell of a catchphrase John, but now it’s done, because we all see you and we’re looking at a washed up bum. 14 years ago today, I dropped the legendary pipebomb, and you tried to make it all about you because that’s what you do John, you’re a leech, you’re a phony, you’re a fraud, you’re an a** kiss 17 time champion but you ain’t ever been on my class.
Before you go John, there’s one more wish to make, tomorrow night you’re gonna lose to Kendrick because bitch, you’re my Drake!”
