John Cena challenges CM Punk to a high-stakes match: photos
John Cena agrees to put his WrestleMania 29 WWE Championship Match on the line in a bout against CM Punk next week on Raw.
A mere 48 days from his WrestleMania 29 match against WWE Champion The Rock, John Cena enters the heart of Cajun country, Lafayette, La., to a deafening ovation.
Following the events of Elimination Chamber, Cena says the WrestleMania 29 sign “finally, after last night, means something … because WrestleMania is taking shape!”
As the Cenation leader begins to address his huge opportunity on The Grandest Stage of Them All April 7, “Cult of Personality” hits ...
... signaling the arrival of CM Punk and his adviser, Paul Heyman.
Reeling from his loss to The Rock at Elimination Chamber, The Second City Saint tells Cena The Great One’s victory the night before was “fair and square … if you want to ignore the fact I had him pinned for about an 18-count.”
Claiming Cena’s WWE Title Match opportunity rightfully belongs to him, Punk notes his successful win-loss record against Cena and implores the Cenation leader to “just walk away.”
With the Cajundome chanting "Cena, Cena," the popular Superstar says he won’t leave, but he concedes, “I haven’t beaten you and I haven’t beaten The Rock.”
Acknowledging critics who say he doesn’t belong in the WrestleMania main event, Cena offers a solution for how to silence his detractors and give Punk the opportunity he so dearly craves.
“Here’s the difference between you and me, Punk. You talk business, I handle business," Cena says before offering to put up his WWE Title Match at WrestleMania in a match against Punk.
Taken aback by the golden opportunity offered to him, Punk contemplates ...
... consults with Heyman ...
