CM Punk battled a major problem during WWE Elimination Chamber 2025 before heartbreaking loss

CM Punk competed at WWE Elimination Chamber 2025. However, he suffered a major problem during the match.

Since returning to WWE, CM Punk has been clear about his singular goal - to headline WrestleMania. This goal was crushed last year when he sustained an injury during the Royal Rumble match. As a result, he had to wait an entire year to achieve his dream once more.

This year, after losing at the Royal Rumble, Punk earned a spot in the Elimination Chamber match. It was his last chance to main event WrestleMania. During the match, Punk faced an unexpected problem. The lights on his chamber pod kept falling off, and The Straight Edge Superstar had to fix them again. A video of this was captured by the fans, and the clip went viral on social media.

Check out the clip below:

Despite this, Punk remained focused during the match and put on a stellar performance. However, he was still unable to win the match and lost to John Cena.
