WWE SmackDown Results: CM Punk destroys John Cena in shocking promo; huge title change; R-Truth attacked (6/27/25)

Cody Rhodes kicked off WWE SmackDown from Saudi Arabia and was immediately interrupted by Randy Orton. Orton said that Cody's match against Jey Uso was one of the best of this year before the stream on Netflix cut out.

We returned about half an hour later, and the two King of the Ring Tournament finalists were gone. The commentators informed us that the show was about to commence as Jimmy Uso headed out for the next match. We later learn that a power outage at the venue was the cause of the delay.

John Cena was next and said that he was a winner, while CM Punk was a loser. He called himself a genius and said that Punk could not beat him.

CM Punk showed up with the Word Life entrance theme and came out dressed like the Thuganomics-era John Cena with knuckle dusters that read 'Drug Free'.

Punk said that this was basic Punkanomics and rapped his promo, calling Cena the 'Temu Macklemore.' We got some dubious insults and a Hulk Hogan reference before Punk called Cena out for his work in Hollywood and TV.

Punk even snuck in a Kendrick/Drake reference with Cena too stunned to speak on SmackDown.

The crowd went wild before SmackDown came to a close with Cult of Personality playing.
