CM Punk will finally live out his lifelong dream this month when he gets to headline WWE's biggest show of the year, WrestleMania.
He will battle Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins in a mega triple-threat clash that has been announced as the main event of the first night in Las Vegas on April 19th.
It marks the end of a career-long battle for the 46-year-old, who famously quit WWE in 2013 after he felt the company failed to deliver on specific promises and spent the next decade estranged from WWE.
However, since his shock return in 2023, Punk has gained a new lease on life and the popularity that has never waned has seen him earn a spot as the headline act on WrestleMania Saturday.
Yet, there are some that have questioned if main eventing the 'opening night' is really the spot Punk has craved all these years, with night two being seen as the 'real' headline spot.
Addressing the situation, Punk spoke to Sebastian Hackl for WWE Deutschland and explained how he feels about being put in the main event spot of a two-night WrestleMania.
He said: “I’m excited. WrestleMania is two nights now so I think it’s more opportunity for people to experience the rare air of a main event at WrestleMania.
“Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins are two guys that I helped kind of get here to the main roster many, many moons ago, so it’s exciting for me to see how long they’ve held it down and how far they’ve come from where they started and it’s gonna be special to show them that, you know, kind of like the daddy’s back thing.
“CM Punk’s back so you’re still here, I’m still here (holding hand higher up).”
