WWE will address CM Punk’s WrestleMania 41 plans during tonight’s episode of RAW from Buffalo. The company confirmed this update on social media following Punk’s unsuccessful attempt to secure a championship match at wrestling’s biggest event.
CM Punk has not competed at WrestleMania since his match against The Undertaker at WrestleMania 29 in 2013. His 22-minute contest ended in defeat, marking his last appearance on the grand stage before departing the company.
An injury prevented Punk from participating at WrestleMania XL earlier this year. The former WWE Champion returned to the company in November 2023 after a nine-year absence.
Punk entered Saturday’s Elimination Chamber match with championship aspirations but was ultimately eliminated. John Cena secured the victory and earned a title opportunity against Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.
During the match, Punk eliminated both Seth Rollins and Logan Paul before being defeated via technical knockout by Cena. His total time in the match reached 32 minutes and 40 seconds.
WWE announced the upcoming WrestleMania status update on social media with a simple message:
After @WWERollins cost him at #WWEChamber, what’s next for @CMPunk on The Road to #WrestleMania? #RawOnNetflix 8ET/5PT on @netflix.
Reports have circulated about a potential Triple Threat match involving Punk, Rollins, and Roman Reigns at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. However, WWE has not confirmed this creative direction.
Tonight’s RAW from Buffalo will address Punk’s path toward the April premium live event. The show marks the first step on the Road to WrestleMania following Saturday’s Elimination Chamber in Perth, Australia.
