CM Punk returned to the WWE at last year’s Survivor Series PLE with all the hype and momentum. However, along with all the excitement came the pressure to deliver and to remove the washed allegations from himself. Speaking of the result so far, the Best in the World has over-delivered.
Since returning to the WWE, The Second City Saint has been embroiled in a high-profile and very personal feud with Drew McIntyre. CM Punk was able to defeat The Scottish Psychopath at the WWE Bash in Berlin 2024 PLE in a strap match. With all the momentum his way, let us see whom CM Punk can face from our list of WrestleMania 41 predictions:
1. The Controversial Dream Match Finally Culminates: Top WrestleMania 41 predictions
Seth Rollins was visibly frustrated and upset when Punk returned to WWE last year. They have had a few encounters since then and have not missed a chance to take a shot at each other on multiple occasions. Moreover, WWE’s original plans had slated Punk and Rollins to headline WrestleMania 40, but those plans were derailed due to his injury. However, this would surely be one of the most highly anticipated matches on the WrestleMania 41 card.
The frustration and differences continued to increase due to miscommunication between the two at WWE SummerSlam 2024 when an altercation between the two cost The Best in the World his match against Drew McIntyre. So, a match between the two at The Showcase of Immortals will surely have fans buzzing for the event.
2. The Second City Saint clashes with The Original Tribal Chief
CM Punk has been a highlight for WWE since he returned to the global juggernaut last year at WWE Survivor Series PLE. The Best In The World is one of the most popular professional wrestlers of all time and has proven that he can still go in the ring with a series of fantastic matches against Drew McIntyre at WWE SummerSlam 2024 and WWE Bash in Berlin 2024.
Since returning to the WWE last year, CM Punk has been asked about a potential clash with The Original Tribal Chief at some point in the future. A showdown between two of the biggest WWE Superstars of the last decade will be a perfect addition to the WrestleMania 41 card.
3. Gunther establishes himself at CM Punk’s expense
Gunther’s rise to the absolute top of professional wrestling needs to be well-documented one day. For the majority of his run in the WWE, Gunther has been the champion of the company and has become an absolute beast to conquer in the Squared Circle.
After making himself the talk of the town with his incredible run as the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion of all time, Gunther has now won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, and a clash with the superstar of the calibre of CM Punk at WrestleMania 4 will make him one of the biggest stars in the history of WWE.
