Seth Rollins Cashes In On CM Punk And Wins World Title At WWE SummerSlam 2025
RUTHERFORD, NEW JERSEY, AUG 3 – Seth Rollins faked an injury to cash in his Money in the Bank contract and defeated CM Punk just five minutes after Punk won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
- At WWE SummerSlam 2025, Seth Rollins took advantage of his opportunity to challenge immediately after CM Punk’s victory and defeated him to capture the World Heavyweight Championship in the main event.
- This event followed Punk’s grueling 30-minute match where he defeated Gunther to claim his first WWE world title in nearly 14 years and Rollins' recent recovery from injury.
- Gunther dominated much of his match against Punk, but Punk rallied, bloodied Gunther, and hit two GTS moves to secure the win before Rollins’ surprise cash-in.
- Rollins entered on crutches, discarded them, hit the Stomp finish on Punk, and pinned him to become a two-time world heavyweight champion, in what was called the 'Heist of the Summer.'
- The outcome ended Punk's celebration abruptly and reinforced Rollins’ intent since 2023 to prevent Punk from holding a world title again, marking a major WWE moment.
