Some of the arena websites for the WWE Live Holiday Tour are advertising CM Punk vs Bronson Reed for the World Heavyweight Championship match!

Seth Rollins was forced to relinquish the World Heavyweight Championship earlier this year due to injury. Punk defeated Jey Uso on the November 1 edition of Saturday Night's Main Event to become champion. Punk is scheduled to defend the title against Bron Breakker on the January 5, 2026, episode of RAW.

CM Punk comments on his WWE future

CM Punk commented on his future in the company following John Cena's retirement match at Saturday Night's Main Event.

The 48-year-old tapped out to Gunther last night at the event in his final bout with the company. Speaking on the Saturday Night's Main Event Post-Show, Punk noted that he was closer to the end of his career than the beginning, but assured WWE fans that he would be sticking around for a while.

"When I make allusions to the end of whatever my career is going to look like, it’s not because I feel like I’m there. It’s because I look back at the entirety of my career, and there is a lot more road behind me than there is ahead of me. Trust me, I am the champion for a reason, and I’m here to stay, and nobody’s going to change that. I’m not going anywhere anytime soon."

CM Punk defeated Gunther at SummerSlam 2025 to become the World Heavyweight Champion, but Seth Rollins cashed in his Money in the Bank contract minutes later to steal the title. It will be fascinating to see if Bron Breakker can capture the World Heavyweight Championship from the 47-year-old next month on WWE RAW.
