WWE is turning up the excitement as WrestleMania 41 approaches, and Triple H is making sure fans stay on the edge of their seats. The company has now officially announced the return of former WWE Champion CM Punk, who confirmed the news on social media. His comeback is set to shake things up in a major way, especially with the ongoing feud between Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins.
CM Punk’s Last Appearance and Roman Reigns’ Involvement
CM Punk has been absent from WWE television ever since he lost to Seth Rollins in a Steel Cage Match on RAW last week. The match took a shocking turn when Roman Reigns made his unexpected return, attacking Punk and indirectly helping Rollins secure the win. However, Reigns wasn’t just there to target Punk—he also sent a message to Rollins, reminding him of their unfinished business from the Royal Rumble.
With The Tribal Chief now set on taking down both Punk and Rollins, WrestleMania 41 is shaping up to be a battleground for these three superstars.
Seth Rollins Responds and Confirms SmackDown Appearance
On the latest episode of RAW, Seth Rollins didn’t hold back when addressing what happened. He made it clear that he would have handled CM Punk himself if Reigns hadn’t interfered. Now, he believes it’s up to him to take care of Reigns as well, just like old times.
To escalate things further, Rollins announced that he will be appearing on SmackDown this week for a face-to-face confrontation with both Punk and Reigns. Meanwhile, WWE has also confirmed that CM Punk will be featured on next week’s RAW, which will be held in Glasgow, Scotland. The Best in the World himself took to Instagram to share his excitement with fans, writing:
“And I’ll see ya in a week, Glasgow!”
Will CM Punk Main Event WrestleMania 41?
Despite his major return, CM Punk’s chances of headlining WrestleMania 41 remain uncertain. He failed to win the Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber, which could have secured his spot in the main event. However, wrestling analyst Sam Roberts believes there is still a strong possibility that Punk could be part of the main event on Night One.
Roberts speculated that the rumored Triple Threat Match featuring Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Seth Rollins could headline the first night of WrestleMania 41. In his words:
“As it stands today, this is my Night One main event for WrestleMania. A lot of momentum is being built for many superstars, but after watching RAW last week, this is my pick. Cody and Cena is Night Two for me.”
Meanwhile, WWE has already confirmed that Cody Rhodes and John Cena will close out Night Two of WrestleMania 41.
What’s Next for CM Punk?
With his return now official, all eyes are on CM Punk to see how he responds to Reigns and Rollins. His presence on RAW in Glasgow next week could set the stage for an explosive confrontation, possibly solidifying his role in the biggest event of the year. Fans eagerly await SmackDown, where Rollins, Punk, and Reigns will finally come face to face.
One thing is clear—WrestleMania 41 is gearing up to be one of the most exciting in recent history, with high-stakes rivalries reaching their peak.
