CM Punk Wins Vacant WWE World Heavyweight Title in Salt Lake City

At WWE's Saturday Night’s Main Event held at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, CM Punk defeated Jey Uso to win the vacant WWE World Heavyweight Championship, following Seth Rollins' six-month injury-related absence. Punk's victory, achieved by hitting his finishing move, the Go To Sleep (GTS), marks his seventh world title win since his return to WWE in 2023 and solidifies his comeback as a top-tier competitor. The match was highly competitive, featuring intense exchanges and near falls, with both wrestlers showcasing their skills and resilience, including a memorable moment where Uso speared Punk through the ringside barricade. This title win redeems Punk, who initially won the championship at SummerSlam 2025 but lost it shortly after due to Rollins cashing in his contract. The event also featured other notable matches, such as Cody Rhodes defending the WWE Championship against Drew McIntyre and Jade Cargill capturing the Women’s Championship from Tiffany Stratton.
