On the anniversary of Netflix’s “Raw” and during a special “Stranger Things” themed episode, CM Punk successfully defended his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Bron Breakker. The match featured numerous near-falls and interference attempts by Paul Heyman, who called for Bronson Reed and Logan Paul to aid Breakker, but Dragon Lee, Penta, and Rey Mysterio evened the odds. Breakker dominated early but was caught by a clothesline from Punk. The fight escalated with all six men brawling in the crowd, and despite Breakker’s repeated efforts—including a Spear and a Fujiwara armbar—Punk countered with his own signature moves like the STF and GTS. Heyman’s distractions failed as Punk remained focused, ultimately dodging a spear and securing the win with a decisive GTS.
Fan Take: This victory solidifies CM Punk’s reign and highlights his resilience against a rising star like Bron Breakker. For WWE fans, it promises thrilling storytelling and intense rivalries, signaling exciting developments ahead for the championship scene.
