CM Punk shared a cryptic message directed at two top WWE competitors before the highly anticipated title match at Evolution 2025, taking place tonight at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. The event features several championship bouts, with Punk’s message stirring speculation about the outcome of the WWE Women’s Championship contest.
Tiffany Stratton, who cashed in her Money in the Bank contract earlier this year to claim the WWE Women’s Championship from Nia Jax, is set to defend her title against Trish Stratus tonight at Evolution. Stratton teamed with Stratus to defeat Nia Jax and Candice LeRae in a tag team match at the Elimination Chamber earlier this year.
Before the match, Punk posted on his Instagram story hinting that it could be “Tiffy Time” once again. However, he also allowed for the possibility that Stratus might capture the championship from the current titleholder. His exact words were,
“It’s clobber….. It’s Tiffy Time! Or is it Trishy Time?” —CM Punk

Bill Apter Responds to Matt Riddle’s Remarks About CM Punk
Wrestling insider Bill Apter recently addressed former WWE star Matt Riddle’s claims that CM Punk remains difficult to cooperate with in the locker room. On Sportskeeda’s The Wrestling Time Machine podcast, Apter pushed back against Riddle’s comments, emphasizing that Punk has changed and is currently well-regarded backstage.
Apter said,
“Matt what are you smoking? […] My feeling is I have been backstage where CM Punk is, everybody is hugging him and high-fiving him. It’s not the same Punk that was so pissed off and angry such a long time ago. It’s a different guy. Matt and he probably had a lot of problems with each other, and if Matt wants to say that, that’s his opinion but I don’t share it.” —Bill Apter
