CM Punk defeated Jey Uso tonight at SNME to become the new World Heavyweight Champion. The “Best in the World” is back on top again as the vacant title now has a new owner. This is his second World Heavyweight Championship victory. His first title reign was cut short to five minutes when Seth Rollins cashed in his MITB contract to steal the World Heavyweight championship from him.

A physically and mentally grueling contest between Jey Uso and CM Punk was necessitated after Seth Rollins suffered an unfortunate injury and had to relinquish his title. Jey Uso and CM Punk both won the World Heavyweight Championship once before this match and put their hearts and bodies out inside the ring to win it for the second time.

The 21-minute bout was nothing short of a masterclass with both superstars trading their signature moves. Jey Uso was relentless and capitalized on every opportunity he received by delivering Superkicks, followed by Spear and Uso Splash, almost securing a victory. CM Punk, however, made sure it ended in a near-fall only.
