Punk even mentioned that the WWE title had corrupted him and that if he were to hold the title at some point, he is afraid that he would become an even dangerous competitor than Cena.
With tensions running high, Punk proposed to have one last battle with Cena for the title on RAW. Cena looked keen on the idea, but declined. Instead, he made it clear that if The Best in the World wanted a title shot, he would need to follow him to Saudi Arabia for the Night of Champions event. Punk agreed; however, the segment ended with the arrival of the new Mr. Money in the Bank Seth Rollins.
The match was later made official for the Night of Champions event. The event will take place on June 28th, at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with one of the greatest bouts in WWE headlining the show.
