CM Punk might be keeping things quiet heading into WrestleMania 41—but the internet just blew the doors off his big surprise.

Footage has surfaced online showing Punk rehearsing his entrance inside Allegiant Stadium ahead of his main event match against Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. The video shows Punk coming down the ramp to “Cult of Personality” in a nearly empty stadium, complete with his signature “It’s clobberin’ time!” pose.

This leak comes just hours after WWE dropped the curtain on the official WrestleMania 41 stage design—an epic Las Vegas-themed set featuring a glowing casino-resort façade, red and gold lights, and a giant WrestleMania marquee stretched across the entrance. With spotlights sweeping across the arena floor, it’s clear WWE is pulling out all the stops.

Fans were already buzzing after Living Colour—the band behind Punk’s theme—was confirmed for a free concert at Fremont Street in Vegas on April 18, the night before Night One. Many speculated the timing was no coincidence, and that Punk could be getting a live performance during his entrance.

But as of now, WWE hasn’t confirmed if the legendary band will appear inside Allegiant Stadium. Still, this rehearsal footage is fanning the flames.

Triple H recently praised the collaborative effort behind Punk’s WrestleMania storyline, revealing that talents like Punk, Seth Rollins, and Paul Heyman were given freedom to shape their promos. “They sit in a room and figure out exactly what they’re all going to say… I let them sort of go do that,” he said on the High Performance podcast.

That creative trust may extend to Punk’s entrance. Whether it’s a live version or the classic track over the speakers, CM Punk’s walk to the ring is already shaping up to be one of WrestleMania 41’s most talked-about moments.
