Jey Uso and CM Punk are all set to compete for the vacant WWE World Heavyweight Championship at the upcoming XLI Saturday Night Main Event this weekend. Both challengers are riding a massive wave of success around the red brand, and it will be difficult to predict who the winner will be. Interestingly, WWE CCO Triple H may have mistakenly disclosed the winner of the title fight.
World Wrestling Entertainment was making an announcement with several mysterious vignettes via its social media platforms. A few hours ago, WWE released a promotional video for WrestleMania 42 on its official X account (fka Twitter) and a poster featuring Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, Triple H, CM Punk and Paul Heyman.

The Game teased a major announcement
In a shocking twist, with their WrestleMania posts, The Game may have leaked the outcome of the world heavyweight title fight between Jey Uso and CM Punk.
The World’s Best was on the table alongside undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and two icons, Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar, strongly suggesting he could have a special role on the next edition of The Show of Shows.
WWE hinted that the winner of the vacant title fight
Given the nature of his full-time schedule, Punk can’t be counted on to have either Roman or Brock as part-time shows, clearly hinting that he could be the next heavyweight champion of the world.
The new poster apparently features two major titleholders and two icons. So, this indicates that the Voice of the Voiceless could end up winning the title at SNME.
However, the angle proposed above is speculative and nothing has been confirmed as of yet.
Punk won the title earlier this year
Since his return to the sports entertainment juggernaut, the world’s best has been at the top, proving to everyone why he belongs at his level. The former AEW star has been aiming for a title shot for a long time now.
He even managed to win the World Heavyweight Championship at the Premium Live SummerSlam 2025 event, defeating Gunther after a grueling battle. But he lost his strap in less than five minutes after Seth Rollins released “Ruse of the Century”, and cashed in his Money in the Bank contract, and became the new champion.
