CM Punk made a spectacular comeback on the May 5, 2025, episode of WWE RAW, which had a direct effect on the result of the World Heavyweight Championship fight between Seth Rollins and Jey Uso. Not only did Punk’s sudden meddling rekindle his animosity with Rollins, but it also complicated the championship scene.

The Main Event: Rollins vs. Uso

Seth Rollins faced up against Jey Uso for the World Heavyweight Championship in the main event of the evening. The stakes were higher for both wrestlers because this was the first time the title has been defended on RAW in seven months.

In the last moments of the fight, Rollins seemed certain to win. But as CM Punk’s entrance song, “Cult of Personality,” reverberated across the arena, it was electric. Rollins was distracted by punk’s unexpected presence, which gave Jey Uso the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and keep his title.

A Rivalry Rekindled

There is ample evidence of the hostility between Seth Rollins and CM Punk. When Rollins denied Punk the opportunity to headline WrestleMania by costing him a crucial fight at the Elimination Chamber earlier this year, their enmity grew more intense. Numerous altercations followed this treachery, including a vicious Steel Cage Match at Madison Square Garden that descended into mayhem as a result of Roman Reigns’ meddling.

Given punk’s meddling with RAW, it appears that their battle is far from ended. Punk has rekindled tensions by costing Rollins the belt, paving the way for yet another heated chapter in their continuing story.

Implications for the Championship Scene

Even though it was contested, Jey Uso’s successful title defense cemented his place at the top of the RAW roster. But the way he won calls into doubt the validity of his rule and the difficulties he might have in the future.

After being denied the title once more, Seth Rollins is probably going to take revenge on Punk. Their rekindled animosity might lead to another crucial match, perhaps with championship implications.

Looking Ahead

The WWE Universe has been rocked by CM Punk’s comeback and actions afterwards. Fans can expect a number of matches and confrontations that will influence the future of RAW’s main event scene as the aftermath from this incident develops.

The path to the next high-end live event is expected to be dramatic, intense, and full of memorable moments as tensions rise and alliances change.
