“For Now”: CM Punk’s Message To John Cena After Latest WWE Title Defense

CM Punk appears to have his sights set on Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena following Cena’s successful title defense at WWE Backlash last night, May 10, 2025. Shortly after the main event, which saw Cena overcome Randy Orton, Punk took to social media with a cryptic message.

On his Instagram story, Punk posted a photo of Cena on his television screen, taken moments after the Backlash main event concluded. The image featured Michael Cole’s commentary subtitled, stating, “Cena is still the champ.”

Adding a layer of direct implication, Punk captioned his post: “For now.” This pointed message strongly suggests that the “Best in the World” is targeting John Cena and the Undisputed WWE Championship.

The tease is particularly intriguing as it was announced during the Backlash Premium Live Event that CM Punk is scheduled to appear on this Monday’s upcoming edition of WWE Raw. With Punk set for a live microphone and Cena still champion, this social media jab has ignited fervent speculation among fans about a potential renewal of their historic rivalry, possibly as soon as this week.
