CM Punk wants a piece of the current WWE US Champion

CM Punk was part of the main event on the first night of WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas. He faced Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins in a big triple threat match. There was no title on the line, but the match had a huge twist that left fans shocked.

CM Punk came to the ring with his close friend Paul Heyman. However, during the match, Heyman turned on him by hitting him with a low blow. In a shocking move, Heyman also attacked Roman Reigns the same way. After years of working alongside Reigns as his “Wise Man,” Heyman switched sides and helped Seth Rollins win the match.

On the Raw episode after WrestleMania, CM Punk came out looking for payback. He wanted revenge on Rollins and Heyman. But before he could do anything, Bron Breakker attacked him and Reigns. Breakker joined forces with Rollins and Heyman. Although they don’t have a group name yet, the new alliance looks dangerous.

CM Punk’s return to WWE TV has not been confirmed, but fans are hoping he will come back soon. There is a strong chance that Punk and Reigns could team up in the future to take on Rollins, Breakker and Heyman.

While speaking with Netflix’s Tudum, CM Punk talked about working with current stars in WWE. He praised the women’s division and also named some wrestlers he wants to face. Punk had good things to say about the United States Champion Jacob Fatu.

“Guys I want to work with — Jacob Fatu. Got a little taste at WarGames, but one-on-one stuff is my bread and butter, more pressure that way.”

CM Punk also mentioned other top names in WWE.

He said, “The women are carrying the show a lot of times. I think Rhea Ripley is a superstar. Liv Morgan had an MVP year in 2024. I like watching Gunther compete. I hate Dominik Mysterio, that’s neither here nor there.”

He also said he would like to face Finn Balor and even wants to revisit his old rivalry with Rey Mysterio.

“I selfishly want to lock back up with Rey Mysterio, teach him a lesson for having such a brat kid.”

CM Punk has not wrestled Jacob Fatu in a singles match yet, but the possibility of that happening in the future has fans excited.
