“From Glory to Disaster in 5 Minutes—CM Punk’s Shocking WWE Downfall After Epic Comeback”
CM Punk’s return to WWE has been nothing short of spectacular—but at SummerSlam 2025, his fairy-tale moment turned into a nightmare in record time.
After nearly a decade without WWE gold, “The Best in the World” went toe-to-toe with the dominant Gunther in Night One’s main event. In a brutal, hard-hitting clash, Punk overcame the odds and finally captured the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. The crowd exploded—this was the Punk redemption story fans had waited years for.
And then… it all came crashing down.
Just five minutes into his reign, Seth Rollins pulled off what’s now being called “The Ruse of the Century.” Cashing in his Money in the Bank contract, Rollins blindsided Punk and snatched the title away before the celebrations even died down.
Now, Punk’s future on the red brand looks rocky.
Roman Reigns is set to make high-profile appearances post-SummerSlam, possibly pushing Punk out of the main event spotlight. Reports suggest that at WWE Clash in Paris 2025, it could be Roman vs. Rollins for the title—leaving Punk on the sidelines.
But that doesn’t mean he’ll be sitting idle.
- Teased Feud with Dominik Mysterio: Punk’s long-running war of words with “Dirty Dom” might be heating up, with a potential Intercontinental Championship program hinted for the coming weeks.
- Possible Clash with LA Knight: On RAW, Punk interfered in Rollins’ match with Knight, sparking tensions that continued after the cameras stopped rolling. Fans are already buzzing about a Punk vs. LA Knight showdown.
Whether it’s gunning for mid-card gold or throwing down with one of WWE’s loudest stars, Punk’s path forward is uncertain—but one thing’s clear: the World Title scene may be moving on without him.
For CM Punk, the question now isn’t just when he’ll be champion again… but whether he’ll even get another shot.
