CM Punk Wins WWE World Heavyweight Title at Saturday Night’s Main Event – CM Punk completed his long-awaited redemption story at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on November 1 in Salt Lake City, Utah, capturing the vacant WWE World Heavyweight Championship after defeating Jey Uso in a dramatic and emotional main event.

The title was vacated weeks earlier after Seth Rollins was forced to relinquish it due to injury, setting up a showdown between Punk—who earned his spot by winning a number-one contender’s match—and Uso, who outlasted 19 other Superstars in a 20-man battle royal.

The Delta Center crowd was electric from the start, with Jey Uso entering through the crowd to his signature energy before CM Punk followed to an overwhelming ovation. Once the bell rang, the two delivered an intense back-and-forth contest that showcased both men’s resilience and determination to claim the gold.

Punk dictated the early pace, grounding Uso with submission holds and calculated strikes. Uso mounted a comeback with a spear and followed up with a huge Uso Splash, coming within a split second of victory. The battle spilled to the outside where Uso speared Punk through the barricade, earning one of the loudest reactions of the night.

The match reached its emotional peak as both men traded finishers in the ring. Uso attempted to humiliate Punk by hitting the GTS, but Punk reversed the move, countering with his own sequence of Go To Sleep strikes. The final blow connected cleanly, allowing Punk to score the decisive three-count and reclaim world championship status for the first time in years.

Post Malone, seated ringside, was caught on camera reacting in shock as Punk secured the win, adding to the night’s spectacle. Following the pinfall, Punk sat in the center of the ring clutching the championship to his forehead before raising it high to an emotional ovation from the Salt Lake City crowd.

This victory marks CM Punk’s seventh world championship reign and his first since returning to WWE. For a performer who’s battled through controversy, injuries, and years away from the ring, the triumph served as the culmination of a journey defined by resilience. Once again, CM Punk proved why he remains, in his own words, “The Best in the World.”
