In 2011, current WWE Champion John Cena faced off against one of his most enduring rivals, CM Punk, in a legendary battle that helped both competitors ascend to new heights.

CM Punk challenged John Cena for the Undisputed WWE Championship during "WWE Raw," with the match all but made official for Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia.

CM Punk has had significant maturation since making his WWE return to 2023 Survivor Series and has become a staple in the locker room as well, as his relationship with other stars and management has greatly improved since his first experience at Stamford a decade ago.
