CM Punk defeated Gunther via pinfall last night at SummerSlam to capture the World Heavyweight Championship. The Second City Saint got emotional following the victory as the crowd cheered for him. However, the heartfelt moment was short-lived, as Rollins returned to reveal that his injury was a ruse.

The Visionary cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on Punk to become the new World Heavyweight Champion. WWE shared Big E's live reaction to Rollins cashing in his MITB contract, and the former champion praised the storyline.
