• Backstage News On CM Punk Agreeing To Go To Saudi Arabia
In the main event of Night of Champions 2025 in Saudi Arabia on June 28, CM Punk will challenge John Cena for the Undisputed WWE Championship. This match was made official on last night’s post-Money In The Bank edition of RAW. Back in 2020, Punk said the following to The Miz regarding WWE’s business relationship with Saudi Arabia:
“Go suck a blood money covered d*ck in Saudi Arabia you f**king dork.”
The Wrestling Observer reported the following about Punk agreeing to go to Saudi Arabia:
“He could not go to Saudi Arabia if he really wanted to not go. He was going months ago. I had already asked about that a couple of months ago when the show was first talked about, and he was in the original promo package, and then he was taken out of the promo package. And I asked, am I supposed to see when Seth Rollins replaced him in that promo package that he’s not going, and it’s like, ‘Nope, he’s going.’
So it’s been known he’s going for months, probably all along. I don’t know if he ever voiced any issue with going at any point since he signed, but he hasn’t in months. I know that.”
The last WWE Championship match between Cena and Punk took place at Night of Champions 2012. 13 Years later, they will square off for the final time at Night of Champions 2025.
