CM Punk has ignited rumors of a potential WWE Championship showdown with John Cena after subtly reacting to the champion’s Backlash victory. The Straight Edge superstar posted an Instagram Story screenshot of Cena’s title retention commentary – “Cena is still the champ” – with a tantalizing two-word response: “For now.”

The veiled challenge comes weeks after Punk expressed willingness to participate in Cena’s retirement tour “in any which way.” Their storied history makes Money in Bank (June 7) a prime candidate for this dream rematch – the very event where Punk famously dethroned Cena in 2011’s iconic “Summer of Punk” climax.

With Cena next appearing at May 24’s Saturday Night’s Main Event, WWE may be building toward either a championship clash or alliance between the two veterans. Punk’s social media tease strategically plays into their real-life tension-turned-mutual respect, offering WWE compelling narrative options as Cena’s final matches take shape.
