.
The WWE Universe has all eyes locked on the upcoming Premium Live Event, Night of Champions 2025, set to take place at the Kingdome Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The showdown to headline the spectacle will see CM Punk challenging John Cena for the Undisputed WWE Championship, which will be the final time these two iconic foes will clash in the ring.
While Punk has major momentum heading into the match, there is a slim chance of him dethroning 'The Last Real Champion.'
John Cena vs CM Punk is set to happen twelve years after their last WWE match
After months of taking occasional shots at him, CM Punk finally confronted John Cena face-to-face on the RAW after Money in the Bank PLE.
The duo had a heated exchange and agreed to one last showdown on Cena's farewell tour for the Undisputed WWE Championship. This will mark their first match since 2013 and the second time they will square off at the Night of Champions event, with their bout taking place in 2012.
On that night, Punk was the defending champion, and the match ended in a draw. In light of recent events, it appears that the odds are in favor of The Unseen 17 retaining his championship reign.

John Cena is also embroiled in a heated feud with Ron "The Truth" Killings, who has attacked him on more than one occasion. The sudden hatred of Truth for Cena can ultimately cost Punk his golden opportunity .
The scenario can see Truth interfering in the match at Night of Champions 2025 and causing a disqualification. Punk would win the match, but not the title. Another instance can be seen in Cena utilizing the same cheap tactics he employed in his last title matches to defeat The Best in the World. It is widely expected that Cena will remain the Undisputed WWE Champion till the end of his farewell tour.
All those signs point to the fact that CM Punk will not be able to defeat John Cena at Night of Champions. However, it would surely be a blockbuster match to witness at the Premium Live Event.

Will Smith alludes to VIRAL Chris Rock Oscar slap in freestyle: "Disrespecting me on the stage, expect..."
Three years have passed since Will Smith infamously slapped Chris Rock during the Oscars ceremony, getting him banned from the awards show for 10 years. In his most recent work, the rapper and actor appears to be thinking back on the incident. The Academy Award-winning actor seemed to make reference to the 2022 viral moment during his appearance on Fire in the Booth with British DJ Charlie Sloth earlier this week. As stated by Just Jared, Smith raps, "If you're talking crazy out your face up on the stage and disrespecting me on the stage, expect me on the stage," in verse two of his freestyle. He goes on, "Jokers dish it out, cry foul when it's time to take it/ City full of real ones, wasn't raised to fake it." Although Smith did not specifically name Rock, his remarks brought to mind the 2022 award show, where he got up from his seat, walked onto the stage, and smacked Rock on live television shortly after the comedian made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith. After the slap, Rock seemed visibly stunned. "Keep my wife's name out of your f---ing mouth!" Smith said as he headed back to his seat. Later, the King Richard actor apologized to Rock in public. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Rayenda Home Value Just Changed (Take a Look) Homes Values Click Here Undo Smith wrote, in part, on Instagram, "Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive." "My behavior at last night's Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. Jokes at my expense are a part of the job, but a joke about Jada's medical condition was too much for me to bear, and I reacted emotionally." "I would also like to apologize to the Academy, the producers of the show, all the attendees, and everyone watching around the world. I would like to apologize to the Williams family and my King Richard family, the actor went on. "I deeply regret that my behavior has stained what has been an otherwise gorgeous journey for all of us. I am a work in progress." In July 2022, several months after the incident, Rock stated that while the slap "hurt," he was "not a victim." Smith appeared to refer to the slap on two different tracks from his first album in 20 years, Based on a True Story, which was released in March 2025. Watch the video below to see Will's full freestyle session.
