🔥 Main Event Chaos: Punk vs. Gunther + Rollins Cash‑In
CM Punk defeats Gunther
In a brutal title bout, CM Punk stunned the WWE Universe by pinning Gunther to become World Heavyweight Champion for the first time in over a decade. Punk rocked Gunther, including busting him open, and kicked out of multiple finishers before securing the win with two GTSs
Seth Rollins cashes in
Before Punk could celebrate, Seth Rollins made a jaw‑dropping return—revealing his knee injury was a ruse—and cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase. He crushed Punk, stomped him with the MITB mallet, and left Night 1 as the new World Heavyweight Champion
Rollins’ cash-in became the night's defining moment, stealing the spotlight from Punk’s emotional victory and turning speculation about his injury into one of the most remembered WWE moments of the year
