CM Punk: The Women Are Carrying The Show A Lot Of Times

CM Punk is coming of his first WrestleMania main event, headlining night one against Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins.

Ahead of the event, Punk expressed that IYO SKY vs. Rhea Ripley vs. Bianca Belair would close the show if it were up to him.

Speaking to Netflix, Punk heaped more praise on the women when discussing his co-workers.

“The women are carrying the show a lot of times. I think Rhea Ripley is a Superstar. Liv Morgan had an MVP year [in 2024]. I like watching Gunther compete. I hate Dominik Mysterio, that’s neither here nor there. Guys I want to work with — Jacob Fatu. Got a little taste at WarGames, but one-on-one stuff is my bread and butter, [there’s] more pressure that way … Finn Bálor is fantastic. I selfishly want to lock back up with Rey Mysterio, teach him a lesson for having such a brat kid," said Punk.

Punk lost in the main event of WrestleMania 41 night one when Paul Heyman betrayed him and Reigns to align with Rollins.

Punk was laid out by Rollins and Bron Breakker on the Raw After Mania. He did not appear on last Monday's WWE Raw.
