Last night’s WWE Live Event in Chicago featured a Steel Cage Match in the main event between Gunther and CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship, marking their first-ever clash.
Gunther retained his Title with the help of Dominik Mysterio, who interfered and slammed the cage door in Punk’s head. Gunther escaped the cage to win the match.

Chaos erupted after the match as Dominik, joined by Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods and Carlito, attacked Punk. The hometown hero was rescued by Rey Mysterio, Otis, and LA Knight, who turned the tide and energized the crowd.
Highlights included Rey’s crowd-pleasing 619 on all four heels and Punk’s GTS. Otis and LA Knight added humor with synchronized “worm” moves.
The event concluded with Punk, Rey, Otis, and LA Knight celebrating together to a roaring Chicago audience.
Punk wrote the following on his Instagram story after the match:
“New York, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Chicago. Thank you to everyone who bought a ticket to see us. Chicago. What can I say? I love you with all my heart.
Been over 10 years since I was able to wrestle in what I will always call the Rosemont Horizon. It is my privilege.
Two million dollar houses, on our way to a third in Houston. Proud of everyone on the crew who worked hard and made it all possible except little Dominik Mysterio, who is a greasy twat.”
