Bully Ray proposed CM Punk as a potential challenger for Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41. The Hall of Famer shared his thoughts following Punk’s Royal Rumble announcement on RAW.
CM Punk declared his entry into the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble match during Monday’s RAW broadcast. The Second City Saint aims to secure a world championship opportunity at WrestleMania 41, pursuing his goal of headlining WWE’s premier event.
