CM Punk to turn heel and drag 6-time WWE Champion out of retirement at WrestleMania 41? Potential scenario explored

After engaging in a heated promo war with Seth Rollins on WWE RAW this week, CM Punk is finally set to face The Visionary at the RAW Netflix premiere show. Fans are eagerly anticipating this showdown, as the feud between these two stars feels like more than just a storyline.

Amid the excitement, speculation is growing that CM Punk’s recent actions could lead to a potential retirement match against six-time WWE Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania 41. During his promo exchange with Rollins, CM Punk referenced Stone Cold’s infamous walkout from WWE in 2002.

The Best in the World drew parallels between that incident and Becky Lynch’s current absence, taking personal jabs at the Irish star. Once Punk concludes his rivalry with Rollins, it’s possible fans could witness a confrontation between The Second City Saint and The Texas Rattlesnake. Stone Cold might confront Punk over the recent reference, but the segment could take a shocking turn, with Punk turning heel and assaulting the veteran.

Such a development could set the stage for Stone Cold to come out of retirement once more, leading to an epic clash with Punk at The Grandest Stage of Them All. The last time Stone Cold competed in the ring was at WrestleMania 38, where he defeated Kevin Owens in a No Holds Barred match. A return match against CM Punk would undoubtedly be a massive draw and a lucrative opportunity for WWE.

For now, it remains to be seen how the storyline will develop in the coming months and whether Stone Cold will respond to Punk’s recent reference on WWE RAW.

CM Punk is already rumoured for a big WWE WrestleMania 41 match but not against Stone Cold Steve

WrestleMania 41 is still months away, but recent reports have shed light on Triple H’s potential plans for CM Punk at the event. According to these reports, The Best in the World is expected to face Roman Reigns at The Showcase of The Immortals.

Roman and Punk share some history, particularly involving Paul Heyman, who owes The Second City Saint a favor. It seems the company is planning to turn this into a full-fledged storyline. Additionally, the last time Punk and Reigns crossed paths, they generated impressive viewership numbers.

This could be likely one of the key reasons WWE is considering this blockbuster matchup for WrestleMania. As of now, nothing has been confirmed but the ongoing conversations hint that Punk may soon wrap up his feud with Seth Rollins to set the stage for a WrestleMania 41 feud with the OTC.
