John Cena retains WWE Championship against CM Punk at Night of Champions
John Cena is still the WWE Champion.
He defeated CM Punk in the main event of Night of Champions today in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, after interference from several wrestlers, including Money in the Bank briefcase holder Seth Rollins.
Rollins, along with Paul Heyman, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed, came out after a ref bump, and it appeared as though he would make it a three-way match for the title. However, Sami Zayn and Penta also came out to even up the odds.
At several points throughout the match, Cena turning babyface was teased, leading to him and Punk shaking hands, only for Cena to attempt a low blow. Punk saw it coming, caught his foot, and went for a GTS, but Rollins ran in and hit him with the briefcase, then followed with a Curb Stomp. Cena then shoved Rollins out of the ring and covered Punk to retain the title.
With the win in what was billed as their last ever match, Cena wins their all-time head-to-head rivalry. Heading into Night of Champions, they were 6-6 against one another, with one draw and one no contest.
