Jim Cornette says John Cena’s match with CM Punk from Night of Champions “lost the f*cking plot” at the end

While speaking on his podcast, veteran wrestling personality Jim Cornette gave his review of John Cena’s match with CM Punk at WWE Night of Champions 2025. Cornette praised the encounter until the referee bump…

“I’ve loved this match up until this point. The only thing they can do when a match is not no DQ is knock the referee out, which I’m not opposed to… but the problem is now referee bumps have evolved into the referee has been placed in a fucking medically induced coma… and is going to be down for 10 minutes. The music is playing over the loudspeaker. What’s the referee supposed to think unless he’s completely slapped dab unconscious, in which case some doctor needs to be bringing over a goddamn oxygen tank.

It was a different f*cking match for about five minutes. Yeah, here, now, let’s all go to the lobby… We’ll come back in five minutes when the match we were watching starts back up. I thought it was a real good match, until it became sports entertainment instead of wrestling, and then everybody came out, and they just lost the fucking plot.” (quote courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
