Finn Bálor Pushes CM Punk to the Limit in Electric Belfast Title Fight
The roar inside Belfast was not just loud, it was personal, because this was Finn Bálor fighting for the biggest prize of his career on home soil, with the world watching. In the main event of Monday Night Raw, Bálor challenged CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship and what unfolded was far more than a routine title defense.
From the moment Bálor walked out, the atmosphere shifted. This was not just another contender. This was Northern Ireland’s own, standing across from one of the most polarizing champions in modern WWE. CM Punk knew it too. Every step he took, every pause, was met with a wall of noise that made this one of the most hostile environments of his reign.

Inside the ring, Bálor delivered the kind of performance many believed he needed to remind the world exactly who he is. He absorbed punishment, fired back with precision and pushed Punk deeper than most challengers have since Punk reclaimed the title. The near falls felt endless. The crowd believed. When Bálor landed his signature offense and climbed for the Coup de Grace, the building thought history was about to be made.
But champions survive moments like that. Punk did what champions do. He endured. He adapted. And when the opening finally appeared, he struck. One final GTS ended the dream and CM Punk walked out of Belfast still World Heavyweight Champion.
On paper, it is another successful defense for Punk. But the story is bigger than the result. Finn Bálor did not walk away diminished. In fact, this match may have done the opposite. For the first time in years, Bálor felt like a true main event threat again, not because he won, but because he proved he belonged in that spot.
This matters because WWE is heading deeper into the road to WrestleMania. Performances like this change conversations behind the scenes and expectations among fans. Bálor showed that he can headline major events, carry emotional stakes and deliver under the brightest lights. Punk, meanwhile, leaves Belfast with his title, but also with a reminder that challengers are lining up and they are not backing down.
The road ahead just became more unpredictable and that is exactly where WWE thrives. Stay with us as the fallout from Belfast continues to shape the championship picture and keep watching as the road to WrestleMania grows more intense by the week.
