CM Punk Enters World Heavyweight Title Match After Betrayal, Injury Feuds in WWE

CM Punk is set to challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam, marking his second title opportunity since returning to WWE in late 2023. His ongoing feuds with Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre remain central, with Punk recently reflecting on his rivalries and expressing that working with top WWE stars like Roman Reigns, Rollins, and Paul Heyman has elevated his performance, even after betrayals such as Heyman's at WrestleMania 41. Punk has also been in the spotlight for lighter moments, including a humorous blind ranking of WWE stars and joking about Sheamus' injury on social media. Behind the scenes, his matches—like the main event with Rollins on WWE RAW’s Netflix debut—have caused production challenges due to timing issues. Additionally, Punk and Triple H have discussed their once-rocky relationship, attributing past friction to mistrust and shifting backstage roles, but both now claim to have moved past their differences. As Punk gears up for SummerSlam, he acknowledges his current run as a 'dream come true,' embracing both the challenges and camaraderie of WWE's top talents.
