Seth Rollins Cashes In, Wins WWE World Heavyweight Title at SummerSlam 2025

At WWE SummerSlam 2025, CM Punk ended a decade-long title drought by defeating Gunther to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in a grueling match. However, Punk's celebration was short-lived as Seth Rollins made a shocking return, revealing that a recent injury was a ruse. Rollins appeared on crutches but quickly discarded them, cashing in his Money in the Bank contract by attacking Punk with the briefcase and delivering a decisive stomp to reclaim the World Heavyweight Championship. This dramatic cash-in, dubbed the "Ruse of the Century," marked Rollins' second reign as champion and ended Punk's title reign after only minutes. The event also featured Roman Reigns and Jey Uso defeating Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, with Reigns displaying notable babyface behavior by protecting Uso, signaling a potential character shift. Additionally, Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair captured the WWE Women's Tag Team Titles, highlighting the event's multiple significant moments.
