CM Punk recently stole Rhea Ripley's moves during a WWE event. The promotion is wrapping its tour of Australia that began last week with SmackDown, followed by the Crown Jewel premium live event.

Now, after RAW on Monday, WWE has hosted a live event in Melbourne. The show saw top stars compete on the night, with CM Punk facing The Judgment Day's Dominik Mysterio in an Intercontinental Championship match.

The match ended in disqualification, but Punk got some payback on Dirty Dom. After the match, Rhea Ripley joined Punk as they cleared the house and then targeted the Intercontinental champion.

Surprisingly, the Second City Saint hit Dominik with Ripley's Riptide and followed it up with The Eradicator's Pretzel Pin, which she dubs as the Sexy Pin.

Watch the video below:

This was followed by Ripley counting the pin. Earlier in the night, Ripley teamed up with IYO SKY to defeat Asuka and Kairi Sane in a rematch from their Crown Jewel bout.

CM Punk scored a big win on RAW

On RAW, CM Punk competed in a Triple Threat match against Jey Uso and LA Knight to determine the No. 1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship.

An exciting contest saw Punk pick up the win after planting Jey Uso with a GTS. This earned him a Title shot against longtime nemesis Seth Rollins.

After the match, The Vision came out to attack Punk and laid him out. However, in a shocking turn of events, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed turned on Rollins, effectively booting him out of the faction.

The reason behind this surprising turn of events was reported to be an injury to Rollins.

Now, it remains to be seen how WWE pivots after his unfortunate development. While Punk will hold his Title shot, fans will have to wait to find out when and against whom he will compete for the Championship.

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
