CM Punk defended the World Heavyweight Championship against AJ Styles in the main event of last night’s episode of WWE RAW. It was a back-and-forth match, but Finn Balor interfered and attacked CM Punk. Balor hit the World Heavyweight Champion with three Coup de Graces as the show went off the air.

Ex-WWE star suggests Gunther could retire CM Punk in 2026

Wrestling legend Stevie Richards recently suggested that Gunther could retire CM Punk later this year.

Speaking on The Stevie Richards Show, the veteran suggested that the former leader of Imperium could retire several more stars in the company. He brought up World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk and noted it is a possibility that he could retire The Second City Saint in the near future.

“I think we’re going to see possibly in the next year, in 2026, depending on what AJ Styles does and where Randy Orton is, and now we’re talking about [CM] Punk. These three guys basically have less ahead of them than behind them… Could Punk be the one where Gunther regains the World Heavyweight title and retires Punk? Could that be a WrestleMania match? I think 2026 is going to be very telling,” Richards said.

Seth Rollins cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on CM Punk after he defeated Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam 2025. Rollins is currently out of action with an injury and has revealed that he will not be able to compete at WWE Royal Rumble 2026.
