A major upset rocked WWE Saturday Night's Main Event (SNME) as CM Punk suffered a brutal loss—and it may have set the stage for his next big moment: Money in the Bank 2025.
On May 24, 2025, CM Punk teamed up with Sami Zayn in a high-stakes tag match against Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker. Just as the match reached its climax, Bronson Reed made a stunning return, ambushing Punk and sending him crashing through the barricade. The attack distracted Zayn, allowing Rollins and Breakker to pick up the win.
Aiden English Predicts Punk’s Next Big Move
Former WWE Superstar Aiden English (aka Matthew Rehwoldt) weighed in on the fallout during an episode of the REBOOKED podcast. He believes Punk is the perfect choice to join the Men’s Money in the Bank (MITB) Ladder Match:
"I think [CM] Punk seems right. Yeah, Punk seems right [to qualify for the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match]," English said. [From 27:22 to 27:27]
The speculation is gaining traction, especially with the MITB 2025 event set for June 7 in Los Angeles. So far, Solo Sikoa, Penta, LA Knight, and Seth Rollins have qualified, leaving room for two more superstars.
Punk Returns on RAW, Strikes Back
Following the SNME drama, CM Punk appeared on WWE RAW, where Seth Rollins secured his spot in the MITB Ladder Match by defeating Sami Zayn and Finn Bálor in a triple threat match.
As Rollins celebrated, CM Punk’s music hit—but it was a trap. While Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed waited at the ramp, Punk ambushed Rollins from behind with a vicious GTS, then disappeared into the crowd, taunting the heel faction from a distance.
Is Punk Bound for the Briefcase?
With one spot left to fill in the MITB match, fans are buzzing about Punk’s chances. A victory would mark his third Money in the Bank win, potentially setting up another world title run for “The Best in the World.”
Only time will tell if CM Punk will officially join the match—but the seeds are clearly being planted. Between backstage rumors and fan speculation, WWE could be building toward one of the biggest returns to MITB history.
