Exclusive: CM Punk to turn heel, beat John Cena for the Undisputed Championship at Night of Champions?
John Cena is set to take on CM Punk at Night of Champions 2025 in what promises to be an exciting match. According to Vince Russo, a writer, ¡®The Second City Saint¡¯ should turn heel and win the WWE Undisputed Championship at the event.
John Cena is set to defend the Undisputed Championship against CM Punk at Night of Champions this Saturday (June 28). The match, which is expected to headline the Premium Live Event, promises to be a slobberknocker as the two had a memorable feud over a decade ago.
Things, however, are a bit different this time as ¡®The GOAT¡¯ is the heel and Punk is a face (good guy) heading into the show in Saudi Arabia. A veteran writer recently weighed in on the possible outcome of the match and said that ¡®The Second City Saint¡¯ should not only win the title but also embrace the dark side.
Vince Russo wants CM Punk to win at Night of Champions
Vince Russo is a popular name in the pro-wrestling business. The writer has been associated with companies such as WWE and WCW. In an interaction with Indiatimes, Russo said that he would love for Punk to turn heel on Cena at Night of Champions and walk away with the title. He added this will help WWE redeem themselves after ¡®they buried¡¯ Punk last week on SmackDown.
¡°If it were me---I'm turning Punk heel on Cena and putting the belt on him. I wouldn't have any other choice after they buried Punk on Smackdown by making him sell that table spot for 20 minutes,¡± he told Indiatimes.
In case you did not know, Cena assaulted Punk on SmackDown last week and put him through a table. After this, he delivered a fiery promo in which he spewed venom on ¡®The Best in the World¡¯ and called him a hypocrite. The segment was similar to the ¡®pipebomb¡¯ Punk had delivered many years ago.
