John Cena and CM Punk are set to lock horns for the Undisputed WWE Champion next Saturday. Ahead of the title match, The Cenation Leader buried his rival, and now The Second City Saint has broken his silence on the matter.
On the June 20 episode of SmackDown, Cena delivered a shocking pipebomb promo, effectively giving Punk a taste of his own medicine. Emulating The Straight Edge Superstar's iconic 2011 tirade, The Last Real Champion explicitly broke the fourth wall and fired major shots at his rival.
During an appearance on the SummerSlam Kickoff Show, CM Punk finally broke his silence regarding the 48-year-old's pipebomb. He found it hard to believe Cena's admission of jealousy, considering his record as a 17-time WWE World Champion and "Greatest of All Time." The former AEW star then compared The Franchise Player to Randy Orton, noting that The Viper hadn't 'sold his soul' to The Rock.
"John [Cena] said one true real thing last night [in his pipebomb] and that is he's jealous of me, and it doesn't seem to make any sense because he is the Greatest of All Time, right? 17-time World Champion—I don't know if anybody in this room is going to live long enough to see anybody else accomplish that. It could be Randy [Orton]— Randy is probably our best bet. The big difference between Randy and John is Randy didn't sell his soul to The Rock," Punk said.

CM Punk gets into a fight with top WWE star following SmackDown
The SummerSlam Kickoff Show took place live from the Fanatics Fest event on June 21, following SmackDown. The Voice of the Voiceless made an appearance at the event after being laid out by John Cena on the blue brand.
A tense moment unfolded at Fanatics Fest when Punk and Seth Rollins encountered each other. The two WWE Superstars quickly got into a heated exchange, nearly coming to blows before security personnel managed to separate them.
If Punk beats Cena at Night of Champions PLE in Saudi Arabia, he must be prepared for Rollins possibly cashing in his Money in the Bank contract.
