Nikki Bella Returns

WWE legend Nikki Bella made her first Raw appearance since the 2025 Women's Royal Rumble, hinting at something big. Though she didn’t wrestle, her presence suggests she has unfinished business in WWE.

John Cena Addresses the WWE Universe

In a powerful in-ring promo, Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena responded to backlash from Money In The Bank, where he and Logan Paul lost to Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes.

Cena, now deep into his retirement tour with only 19 matches left, scolded fans for supporting “side show gimmicks” like R-Truth. “Truth is a lie,” Cena declared, insisting that fans wasted their energy and that he wouldn't let them hijack his legacy.

But then—CM Punk’s music hit.

CM Punk Confronts Cena

In a gripping verbal exchange, CM Punk stepped up to challenge Cena both intellectually and physically. Channeling his "Voice of the Voiceless" persona, Punk called out Cena’s hypocrisy and declared his intention to challenge for the Undisputed WWE Championship.

Punk referenced their Elimination Chamber 2025 moment, reminding Cena of the regret in his eyes. "To beat the monster, I have to become one,” Punk said, hinting at a brutal road ahead.

Final Takeaway

With tensions rising between CM Punk and John Cena, GUNTHER still hunting for gold, and the King & Queen of the Ring tournaments heating up, WWE Raw is hurtling toward a high-stakes showdown at Night of Champions 2025.
