Gunther Mocks Goldberg While Firing Warning Shot At CM Punk
CM Punk earned the opportunity to challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam 2025 by winning the Gauntlet match on WWE RAW.
The Best in the World went up against Bron Breakker, Jey Uso, Penta, and LA Knight for the championship opportunity. The Dog and Penta kicked off the Gauntlet match, followed by Breakker defeating him, The YEET Master, and The Megastar.
CM Punk managed to get the best of the former Intercontinental Champion on Monday Night RAW and emerged as The Ring General’s next challenger.
Gunther used Goldberg’s catchphrase to warn CM Punk
Goldberg had returned on WWE RAW ahead of Night of Champions to congratulate The Ring General for dethroning Jey Uso and becoming the new World Heavyweight Champion. However, he challenged him at the same show and warned him by saying, “You’re next”.
It seems that The Ring General took the same script from Goldberg and applied it to CM Punk at WWE RAW.
After the win, Punk was signalling that he would soon have the world championship belt around his waist, while Gunther watched from the stands.
The same video was posted on social media, and the World Heavyweight Champion captioned it with a hint of mockery towards Da Man.
“CM Punk – you’re next.”

While the match has been set for SummerSlam 2025, the ending might not showcase Gunther or Punk walking away as the champion. Despite the injury, there is a possibility Seth Rollins might cash-in for the championship at The Biggest Party of the Summer.
