John Cena's Shocking Challenger For WWE Night Of Champions Revealed
In a shocking moment tonight on WWE RAW, John Cena said he'd put his Undisputed WWE Championship on the line in Saudi Arabia…against CM Punk.
During Monday's episode of WWE RAW, Cena said he was looking for a real competitor to come at him, since he only has 18 dates remaining before he retires. Punk came out to the roar of the crowd, and went in on his longtime rival. In a lengthy promo, Punk said that he's a man of the people, and wants to restore the title to them.
Punk said that if Cena was really man enough, he would accept a challenge for Punk for the title. If Cena was really the last great champion, Punk said, he'd even set the match for tonight. Surprisingly, Cena quickly agreed to facing off against Punk, but not in Phoenix. Instead, Cena said, it'd be in Saudi Arabia, at WWE Night of Champions, if Punk wanted.

The challenge comes as a bit of a shock, namely due to Punk's rumored feelings of performing in Saudi Arabia. It remains unknown whether or not WWE will fully confirm the match, or if something might happen between now and then to stop it. However, as it stands, it seems like Punk may be heading to Night of Champions.
Why do people think CM Punk hates Saudi Arabia?
CM Punk recently went live on Instagram and answered fan questions during a Q&A session. One fan asked him why he hates going to Saudi Arabia, and Punk gave an interesting answer.
Punk's remarks are notable due to him infamously taking a major shot at The Miz over the topic. When he returned to WWE Backstage, Punk famously stated that he was there to 'change the culture.' Miz took a dig at him and mocked the 'change the culture' line. This resulted in Punk telling Miz to 'go suck a blood money covered dick in Saudi Arabia you fucking dork.'

CM Punk ultimately deleted the post, and The Miz has said that Punk apologized for the response. However, Punk has still never performed at any of WWE's events in Saudi Arabia.

Bradley Cooper & Gigi Hadid Spotted on Romantic Date in NYC
and Gigi Hadid recently turned heads in New York City as they stepped out for a rare appearance together. The two have kept their relationship largely out of the public eye, but were seen strolling hand in hand while out for the evening. Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid had a recent outing in New York City. On June 9, the couple was photographed holding hands as they headed out together for a relaxed evening date. Hadid opted for a yellow-and-white gingham polo from her own clothing line, Guest in Residence. The knit top, layered over a white T-shirt, was paired with a sunny yellow midi skirt. She added a zip-up leather jacket with a lightly distressed finish. The model completed her look with white socks, brown loafers, and a small camel-toned handbag. Meanwhile, Cooper opted for an understated look. The actor wore a black long-sleeve button-down shirt with matching pants and leather boots. He accessorized with a camouflage trucker hat and black aviator sunglasses. This date night came not long after Hadid quietly confirmed their relationship on Instagram. On May 3, she shared a collection of birthday photos to celebrate turning 30. Among the photos, there was also a candid moment of her and Cooper sharing a kiss in front of her towering three-tier chocolate cake. Though Hadid and Cooper have reportedly been together since October 2023, they have kept their relationship relatively low-profile until now. Hadid opened up about her relationship with Cooper in an interview with Vogue. She said, 'I respect him so much as a creative, and I feel that he gives so much to me: encouragement and, just, belief. For those people you admire to encourage you, it can create so much belief in yourself.'

OnlyFans' Sophie Rain reveals her 2025 earnings, virginity
She's playing hard to get — and still getting millions. OnlyFans star Sophie Rain revealed to The Post that she's already bagged around $23 million this year — despite refusing to fulfill her fans' most popular fantasy. 'My number one most requested is making content with a man. But I've never made content with a guy and I never will. Honestly, I don't want to do that,' said Rain, 22, a devout Christian who grew up attending mass every Sunday. The brunette beauty, who's in the top 0.01 percent of earners on the sultry subscription site — where she doesn't do nudity, but 'lingerie-bikini level suggestive teasing' instead — does appease her fans when it comes to her second-most sought after video. 'I mean, it's kind of weird, but just videos of me walking around, doing my makeup, just random videos of me doing stuff,' she said. 5 Sophie Rain, a devout Christian, is saving herself for marriage. Sophie Rain/ Instagram The Miami native, who grew up on food stamps, started her OnlyFans account in May 2023 after losing her minimum wage waitressing gig — and in 2024 alone, made $43 million. The hefty sum does not take into account the 20% commission the site takes, she said. 'Yes, they do, unfortunately. This is before anything,' explained Rain, who also has 11.9 million followers on TikTok. 5 Rain, 22, started her OnlyFans account in May 2023, and in 2024 alone, made $43 million. Sophie Rain/ Instagram Her biggest tipper is a man named Charley, who showered her with more than $4.7 million in 11 months, she revealed in December. The big-pocketed superfan is still her most generous client, and has gifted her a total of $5 million dollars to date. 'We pretty much talk almost every single day. It's really just about random stuff half the time, like what I'm doing or what he's doing that day,' she explained. 'But we don't ever get on a personal level. I don't know how old he is. I do know that he has a wife though.' 5 The Miami native said her busiest times on OnlyFans are 'definitely the weekends … and then the holidays at the end of the year, like during Christmas and New Year's.' Sophie Rain/ Instagram The 'craziest fan interaction' she's ever had involved a delusional man who broke into her Airbnb. 'He was looking for me because he genuinely thought that we were married,' she recalled. 'He went to court and everything. He was mentally deranged, they ruled. That was definitely very scary.' Although she was not willing to disclose which celebrities subscribe to her page, she did gush over an A-lister's DM she was most 'proud' to receive. 'Drake has DM'd me. We had a conversation … I asked if he was ever coming to Miami, if he ever just wanted to do something randomly, like go out to dinner or something. But he never answered back.' 5 Her biggest tipper has gifted her a total of $5 million dollars. Sophie Rain/ Instagram As for her future plans, Rain — who used her OnlyFans earnings to buy a $2.7-million mansion for herself in Tampa — wants to turn her sprawling property into a farm when she eventually retires. 'At my place that I'm currently at, I have 20 acres. I want to have a giant farm and just retire and just take care of all my animals. I'm already trying to start building my farm. I have two cows now, but I'm eventually gonna get 10.' 5 When she retires, Rain wants to turn her 20-acre Tampa home into a farm. Sophie Rain/ Instagram Rain confirmed she is still a virgin. 'Yes, I am. I'm waiting until marriage, that's why … I'm single right now,' she said. Her fame makes it difficult to meet Mr. Right. 'It is very hard to date because a lot of people know me … obviously, but I'm just waiting for the right one to come along who doesn't know who I am and maybe we'll hit it off.'
