WWE has sent a message to John Cena on its X handle after CM Punk donned his Thugonomics garb on tonight's episode of SmackDown. Punk came out as the Thugonomics version of Cena tonight and cut a promo on him ahead of their Undisputed WWE Championship match at Night of Champions.
Punk seems more than ready to take on Cena and take the top prize off him in Saudi Arabia. In a hilarious bit, Punk wore Cena's Thugonomics attire on SmackDown.
Later, CM Punk posed for WWE's cameras backstage. WWE posted the video on its X handle and had a message for John Cena:
Punk has defeated Cena in the past and wants to do the same one last time. If he manages to pick up a win tonight at Night of Champions, he will dethrone Cena as the Undisputed WWE Champion.
As for Cena, he is getting incredibly close to finishing his final run in WWE. He has made it clear that he wants to retire with the WWE Championship around his waist. Tonight at Night of Champions 2025, Punk will do everything in his power to make sure that doesn't happen.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
