CM Punk has announced himself for the 2025 WWE Royal Rumble match. The Best in The World is ready to test himself against the best of the best to earn a WrestleMania 41 opportunity of a lifetime.
Punk will be among the 30 participants in the men’s Royal Rumble match this year. His announcement for the match has made him one of the favorites to win along with John Cena.
Over the past years, fans have seen Punk had a good time in the company. That could lead to a Royal Rumble win that could take him to WrestleMania 41.
Check out the three signs that CM Punk will win the 2025 WWE Royal Rumble.

#3. Gunther could face the 2025 WWE Royal Rumble winner
Gunther has had a remarkable run with the World Heavyweight Championship. He has defended his title against top stars, including Damian Priest, Finn Balor, and Sami Zayn.
The heel could face a top babyface from RAW at WrestleMania 41, as it looks like he will be taking his title to the show. That could see him take on CM Punk, who might win the 2025 Royal Rumble to target The Ring General.
Cody Rhodes, the winner of the previous two Royal Rumbles, targeted Roman Reigns and his title. It would make sense for WWE to book the winner of the 2025 Royal Rumble to challenge the World Heavyweight Champion to elevate the new title’s value.
Additionally, CM Punk could stay on RAW after winning the World Heavyweight Title to increase its value. Meanwhile, The American Nightmare could have a 'Mania match against Roman Reigns or The Rock.
#2. CM Punk is one of the biggest stars without a title in WWE
Roman Reigns may not need a Royal Rumble win to get back in contention for the Undisputed WWE Championship. Meanwhile, Gunther already holds a top title, while Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre are involved in storylines away from the world championship picture.
CM Punk is one of the biggest stars on RAW who is now chasing a world title win. That could allow him to get into contention for the title only after winning the Royal Rumble.
Punk missed out last year due to an injury that he sustained in the contest. This year, he could go all the way and win the contest to get into contention for a world championship match.
#1. A WrestleMania 41 main event could be his story to finish in 2025
WrestleMania 40 saw Cody Rhodes finally finish his story and win the Undisputed WWE Championship from Roman Reigns. Triple H may look to book a similar storyline for CM Punk.
The Best in the World has been repeatedly reminded that he has yet to headline a WrestleMania. His return could see him do just that soon. WWE has mentioned Punk’s dreams a few times, and that could be a sign that he is heading towards a Royal Rumble win. The victory could allow him to finish his story and headline one of the two nights of WrestleMania 41.
