Punk has never won a Royal Rumble match in his WWE career. He has been wanting to headline WrestleMania for years at this point, and a Royal Rumble win would earn him a guaranteed spot in the main event of The Show of Shows.
Cody Rhodes, on the other hand, is the 2023 Royal Rumble winner. He unfortunately lost to Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 39. The American Nightmare is desperate to win the free-for-all once again and book his spot in the main event of WrestleMania 40.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
