CM Punk Says He Shouldn’t Be in WrestleMania 41 Main Event

CM Punk is just days away from finally living out his biggest dream—main-eventing WrestleMania. But in true Punk fashion, he’s not patting himself on the back… instead, he’s saying someone else deserves the spotlight.

Appearing on The Ringer Wrestling Show, the self-proclaimed Best in the World made it clear that if he were running things, his triple threat match against Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins wouldn’t go on last. “If it was up to me, believe it or not. Rhea, Bianca, and IYO would be the main event. I’m not saying which night, but like I can tell you that if I was in Triple H’s spot, I would gravitate towards that,” Punk said.

Yes, the man who spent years fighting for a WrestleMania main event spot—who called out the system, walked away from the company, and came back for unfinished business—just said he shouldn’t be the one closing the show.

The match he’s talking about? The blockbuster triple threat between Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, and IYO SKY. While he didn’t clarify whether he meant night one or night two of WrestleMania 41, Punk’s praise for the women’s match was crystal clear.

It’s a surprising dose of humility from the guy who’s made a career off fighting for what he believes he deserves. But it also speaks to how seriously Punk takes the moment—and the business.

Do you agree with Punk’s take? Should Rhea, Bianca, and IYO headline one of the WrestleMania nights? Or is Punk finally getting the main event moment he earned? Sound off in the comments below—we want to hear your pick for who should close out WrestleMania 41.
