CM Punk has set his sights on WrestleMania 41, wanting to fulfill his dream of headlining The Grandest Stage of Them All. The latest reports suggest that Punk will face a long-term rival in Las Vegas, but it's not against Drew McIntyre.
The build to the biggest WWE event of 2025 seemingly began after Punk brawled with Seth Rollins in the last two weeks on RAW. General manager Adam Pearce had enough and booked them in a match on the first episode of the red brand on Netflix.
According to Xero News on X, formerly known as Twitter, one of the planned matches at WrestleMania 41 is CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins. Even though it's already set for RAW's Netflix debut episode, it seems like all roads lead to another clash at Allegiant Stadium.

Xero News also brought up WrestleVotes' report on Sportskeeda's Backstage Pass regarding plans for CM Punk at WrestleMania 41. The company reportedly wants The Second City Saint to have a championship heading into the event, possibly the World Heavyweight Title.
It will be interesting to see what's going to happen on RAW's Netflix premiere and whether Punk vs. Rollins will have a definitive ending. Gunther is the current World Heavyweight Champion and could defend the gold at the 2025 Royal Rumble.
Seth Rollins sends message to CM Punk ahead of RAW match on Netflix
WWE and Netflix held a press event on Wednesday afternoon at the company headquarters for the upcoming debut of the show on the popular streaming platform. Seth Rollins and CM Punk were among the stars present, and things got a little heated.
The Visionary shouted at his rival and sent a clear message ahead of their much-anticipated showdown on January 6. They got in each other's faces before officials separated them.
"Welcome to the house that I built. Welcome back to the house that I built when you abandoned ship. I got nothing left to say. Who's the bootlicker now, b**ch?" Rollins said.
Punk was at his peak in WWE when Rollins, Roman Reigns, and Dean Ambrose made their main roster debuts in November 2012. The Second City Saint exited the company less than two years later, leaving The Shield trio to carry the company into its next era.
