CM Punk returns to WWE Raw and defeats Sami Zayn to win the WWE Championship, according to reports from Yahoo Sports and Forbes. The two outlets describe the same outcome: Punk’s comeback leads directly to a championship match against Zayn, with Punk emerging victorious to take the title.

Both sources present the event as a turning point on the show, focusing on Punk’s in-ring return and the match result rather than providing additional details such as match stipulations, specific in-match sequences, or other storyline developments beyond the championship change. In their accounts, Punk’s win over Zayn is the central news item, marking a new phase for the WWE Championship picture and establishing Punk as the new champion following his appearance on Raw.
