• WWE is gearing up for WrestleMania 41 with major storylines beginning at the RAW Netflix debut and Royal Rumble 2025.
CM Punk is set for a prominent role, reigniting his feud with Seth Rollins ahead of their January 6th match. While Punk vs. Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship was originally planned for WrestleMania 40 before Punk’s injury, WWE is now reportedly aiming for Punk to compete in a World Title match at WrestleMania 41.
WrestleVotes reported that Punk will likely be going after the World Heavyweight Championship, but Gunther might not be the champion at that point:
“I’ve heard so many things on Punk, especially as of late with the Roman (Reigns) stuff being thrown in there. But the one main factor that I’ve heard almost all year is they want [Punk] to be involved in a World Title match.
I don’t know how the puzzle pieces are going to fit, but they want him at the top. I don’t think it’ll be with (Undisputed WWE Champion) Cody (Rhodes), so that’s one title match out the window. Does he fit into the other one? I’m going to say yes at this point.
I don’t think it’ll be Gunther, that’s the thing. I don’t think it’s Punk and Gunther. So if they want him involved with the title, then what do you do with Gunther?”
