John Cena is set to face CM Punk for the Undisputed WWE Championship at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia. It is said to be a tough challenge for The Franchise Player, which may force him to orchestrate a malicious plan against Punk. Cena could reunite with his former tag team partner after 14 years to injure The Best in the World before their high-profile showdown.

In a stunning twist, The Miz could join forces with John Cena for the first time since February 2011, when the two stars became the World Tag Team Champions in WWE. The Cenation Leader recently posted a picture of The A-Lister from a Saudi Arabian show on Instagram. This post quickly gained attention among fans as it had a hidden meaning that dates back to a controversy.

Back when CM Punk was a mainstay on WWE Backstage on FOX, he blasted WWE and The Miz with a profanity-filled X post for competing in Saudi Arabia shows. Although it was reported that the two stars had squashed their beef in recent years, WWE could still utilize this angle in the current storyline. Cena's Instagram post was seemingly to remind fans of the controversy that Punk stirred back then.

The Miz could reignite his frustration against The Second City Saint on the road to the Night of Champions. He might call out CM Punk as a hypocrite for competing in Saudi Arabia after years of criticizing the country. The A-Lister could reunite with John Cena and lay an attack on Punk on RAW to potentially injure him ahead of his huge match with The Last Real Champion.

However, Cena's Instagram posts are often quite cryptic, lacking significant meaning most of the time. Hence, the above-mentioned scenario is purely speculative.


John Cena to defeat CM Punk at the Night of Champions?

CM Punk poses a legitimate threat to John Cena's Undisputed WWE Championship reign. The two legends have a storied history, and they have clashed in the ring numerous times. However, it is Punk who has had the upper hand every time.

But there is a high possibility that Cena might outsmart the 46-year-old this time. The Cenation Leader will likely defeat CM Punk at Night of Champions and retain his title. WWE is heavily using John Cena to promote this year's SummerSlam.

There are high chances that The Last Real Champion will be involved in one of the world title matches in one of the main events on the show. There are also rumors that he could face Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at SummerSlam.

Although CM Punk's world title win could be a huge moment, WWE could save it for an even bigger stage like SummerSlam or WrestleMania down the line. Nonetheless, it will be interesting to see what WWE has in store for this historic clash at Night of Champions.
