CM Punk Wins WWE SummerSlam 2025, Rollins Cashes In

WWE SummerSlam 2025 featured a match between CM Punk and Gunther for Raw's World Heavyweight Championship at MetLife Stadium. Punk earned this opportunity by winning a gauntlet match on Raw, defeating top stars like Bron Breakker and Jey Uso.

Despite expectations of Seth Rollins cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase, the match proceeded between Gunther and Punk. Punk emerged victorious, becoming the World Heavyweight Champion after more than a decade.

In a highly anticipated match, Punk faced Gunther, with the crowd firmly supporting Punk. After a thrilling battle, Punk secured the win with a second GTS, reclaiming his position as the top star on Raw.

Minutes after Punk's victory, Seth Rollins interrupted, cashing in his briefcase to become the new World Heavyweight Champion. Rollins had been a rival of Punk since his return in 2023, and this cash-in continued their feud.

Rollins' win prevented Punk from a long reign as champion, setting the stage for a renewed rivalry between the two. Gunther, on the other hand, is expected to take a hiatus from WWE due to a reported nose injury, stepping away from the world title scene.

With Rollins as the new champion, the feud between him and Punk is expected to intensify, promising more heated confrontations in the future.
