Could CM Punk vs. John Cena Happen Again? Latest MSG Match Fuels WWE Rumors

At Madison Square Garden on Wednesday, the WWE Holiday Tour got underway. CM Punk was among the well-known wrestlers who competed at the event. Ludwig Kaiser and the Second City Saint faced off at MSG. Punk used moves from his legendary opponent John Cena's repertoire during the match. The crowd in the arena knew what was going to happen when Punk struck Kaiser with a side slam and two shoulder tackles.
Punk’s opponent was set up for the Five Knuckle Shuffle by the two-time WWE Champion. Similar to Cena, Punk taunted Kaiser with "You Can't See Me" before making the move. This tribute, of course, comes just weeks before The Cenation Leader embarks on his 2025 retirement tour. Cena's trademark Five Moves of Doom, which includes shoulder tackles, a side spinout powerbomb, and the famous Five Knuckle Shuffle, were used by Punk to attack Kaiser at one point during the match. Before Cena returns, this was a beautiful tribute and tease if they do have one last showdown in the near future.

The rivalry between John Cena and CM Punk is legendary, their 2011 Money in the Bank clash was an unforgettable chapter in WWE history. Despite their intense on-screen feud, both men have consistently expressed mutual respect for each other throughout their careers.
WWE's highly anticipated debut on Netflix is set to kick off with a bang, featuring appearances from two of the biggest names in the company's history. The January 6th premiere will see the return of John Cena, who has already confirmed his involvement. While his specific role remains undisclosed, Cena is expected to be a prominent figure on Monday Night Raw throughout 2025.
Adding to the excitement, CM Punk will make his long-awaited return to Raw, facing off against his bitter rival, Seth Rollins. The animosity between these two superstars is well-documented, and their clash promises to be a highly anticipated and potentially explosive encounter.
