Seth Rollins' victory over CM Punk at SummerSlam on Saturday night was all part of a carefully orchestrated plan that included embellishing a knee injury.

The main event of tonight’s (Sat., Aug. 2, 2025) SummerSlam premium live event at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, featured GUNTHER putting the world heavyweight championship on the line against CM Punk. There was a ton of intrigue going into this one, even if the story was a tad vanilla.

CM Punk's first WWE world title reign in 12 years lasted only five minutes. Punk overcame a fantastic, grueling match with Gunther at WWE SummerSlam on Saturday only for Seth Rollins to spoil the evening.
