CM Punk and Gunther began with a series of lock-ups and punches to establish early dominance. As the match started to pick up pace, Gunther began to gain the upper hand on the Second City Saint.

However, Punk came back with his series of moves, showcasing his veteran status on The Ring General. He came back on multiple occasions, realising the high stakes of the bout; however, Gunther himself did not back down from the former WWE Champion.The match was an amazing display of in-ring action and went outside the squared circle. Moreover, a spot at the announcer's desk saw Gunther being busted open and covered in his own blood for the first time in his career.

Despite that, he tried to lock in the sleeper hold, but Punk countered it.

With Gunther wobbling on his feet, CM Punk took the opportunity to connect with two GTS and cover him for the three count to win the World Heavyweight Championship for the first time in over a decade in WWE. Just as Punk was celebrating his title win, Seth Rollins' music hit, and he made his appearance on the ramp in clutches with Paul Heyman holding his Money in the Bank briefcase.

He walked back, only to drop his clutches, shock the fans, and charge towards the ring. He took out Punk and cashed in his contract, connecting with a thunderous Stomp and snatching the World title from his heated rival, outsmarting everyone who thought he was injured.
