Triple H to insert WWE veteran into John Cena vs CM Punk match at Night of Champions? Exploring the possibility 

WWE Superstars John Cena and CM Punk will face each other for the Undisputed Championship at the 2025 Night of Champions. While this will likely be their final encounter with each other, there is a chance that Triple H could insert Seth Rollins into the equation, making the Saudi Arabia match a Triple Threat.

This week on RAW, CM Punk interrupted John Cena’s in-ring segment when the latter said that the roster didn’t have any competition to offer. Taking shots at Cena selling himself out to The Rock to win the Undisputed Championship, Punk said that he can give him a competition and a challenge on the same night.

While The Never Seen Seventeen agreed to a title match, he stated that he would defend the gold at Night of Champions. Shortly after, Seth Rollins entered the arena with Paul Heyman, Bronson Reed, and Bron Breakker, and flaunted his Money in the Bank briefcase to Cena and Punk while laughing.

Thus, there is a high chance that this was The Visionary’s signal that he would soon cash in on The Last Real Champion. Seeing that he has the backup to ambush The Franchise Player at any time he wants, The Architect could cash in his MITB contract and dethrone him ahead of Night of Champions.

If this happens, Rollins may have to defend the Undisputed title against both Punk and Cena in Saudi Arabia. The Revolutionary would still be at an advantage, however, since Triple Threat rules have no disqualification, and Breakker and Reed can enter the match whenever they see fit. Although this is a big possibility, all of this is speculation so far.

John Cena versus CM Punk at the 2025 Night of Champions is a bad idea

While the WWE Universe wants to see John Cena and CM Punk collide one more time, the 2025 Night of Champions shouldn’t have been the event to host this match. With less than three weeks between this week’s RAW episode and the Saudi Arabia premium live event on June 28, 2025, the creative team doesn’t have much time to add weight and buildup to this match.

Given how iconic their rivalry is, John Cena and CM Punk should have received a match at the 2025 SummerSlam. The Last Real Champion currently has 18 more appearances in his retirement tour. By the time The Biggest Party of the Summer arrived, this number would be down by a big margin.

That would have made the outcome of the match less predictable, as fans know that The Franchise Player will most likely retain the Undisputed Championship. Thus, this would leave The Second City Saint with another big loss after getting the fans excited for a high-stakes match. It would be interesting to see what lies ahead for Cena and Punk.
