Seth Rollins found himself in a tense situation ahead of the 2025 SummerSlam press conference during the recent Fanatics Fest New York. Rollins, who currently possesses the Men’s Money in the Bank briefcase, interrupted the entrance of John Cena, leading to a brief but intense confrontation that suggested a potential showdown between the two.
Although Rollins appeared ready to confront the Undisputed WWE Champion, Cena opted to turn around and walk away. This moment lingered in the air as CM Punk emerged from the audience, approaching Rollins and escalating tensions further. The situation quickly turned physical, resulting in the necessity for security personnel to intervene.
Notably, WWE personality Sam Roberts captured the unfolding drama on camera, sharing it on his Instagram.
Looking ahead, CM Punk is slated to challenge John Cena for the Undisputed WWE Championship at the upcoming Night of Champions event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Cena, who successfully defended his title against Randy Orton at Backlash, will face Punk for the second time at this event, following a particularly intense segment on SmackDown where Cena physically dominated Punk, putting him through a table and delivering a fiery promo.
Former WWE head writer Vince Russo suggested during a discussion on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s BroDown podcast that for Punk to regain momentum after his recent defeat, a heel turn against Cena could be a fruitful direction for his character.
This brewing rivalry sets the stage for an exciting confrontation, showcasing the unpredictable and high-stakes world of professional wrestling. Fans can look forward to an electrifying showdown as the storylines unfold in the lead-up to Night of Champions.
