CM Punk vs AJ Styles: These two legends will face each other in the WWE ring after many years
The June 02 episode of Monday Night Raw is ready for a big match where CM Punk and AJ Styles will be in the same match. This episode will be the final show before Money in the Bank 2025, and it will be broadcast live from BOK Center, Tulsa.
On this day, there will be final qualifying matches for the men’s and women’s Money in the Bank ladder matches. The winners will get direct entry into the Money in the Bank match.
In the men’s match, CM Punk, AJ Styles, and El Grande Americano will face each other in a triple threat match. Before this, Solo Sikoa, LA Knight, Penta, Seth Rollins, and Andrade have already qualified.
Since the announcement of this match, fans are very excited. Everyone has been waiting to see these two veterans in the same ring again. But the question is—when did they face each other last time in WWE?
Punk and Styles never had a singles match in WWE
Both stars have made big names in WWE, but the interesting thing is that CM Punk and AJ Styles have never had a one-on-one match in WWE. However, they did appear in the same ring during the 2025 Royal Rumble.
This Royal Rumble took place on February 01 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Except for that, they have never had a direct match in WWE till now.
They had one singles match before joining WWE
Before coming to WWE, they had one memorable singles match. On December 11, 2004, during an International Wrestling Cartel (IWC) event, they faced each other for the first time. The event was called A Call To Arms 2 and happened in Wilmerding, Pennsylvania.
That night, The Phenomenal One AJ Styles defeated CM Punk. Not just that, during the early 2000s, they faced each other nine times in independent wrestling shows. Most of those matches were singles matches, while two were tag team matches and one was a triple threat match.
