World Heavyweight Champion Gunther vs. CM Punk
It's The Ring General vs. The Best in the World at SummerSlam 2025 in a matchup fit for The Biggest Event of the Summer.
CM Punk emerged from a brutal No. 1 Contender Gauntlet Match and outlasted Bron Breakker on the July 14 edition of Raw to claim the title opportunity. Gunther is coming off a statement victory against Goldberg at Saturday Night's Main Event that officially retired the WWE Hall of Famer.
Gunther and CM Punk are both generational Superstars that look very different on the surface, but it's hard to pair up two more skilled competitors inside the squared circle. Last year, the Second City Saint competed in his first SummerSlam clash in 11 years but fell short against Drew McIntyre in Cleveland. The World Heavyweight Champion meanwhile is 2-0 all-time at SummerSlam with wins over Damian Priest and McIntyre the last two years.
CM Punk has been clear since his return to WWE that he's committed to reclaiming championship gold. Will it be Gunther or Punk who steals the show at The Biggest Event of the Summer?
Catch the World Heavyweight Title showdown at the first-ever two-night SummerSlam streaming live on Peacock in the U.S. and Netflix internationally on August 2 & 3 at Metflife Stadium.
