CM Punk returns to WWE SmackDown tonight for the first time in a decade and he has a lot to say about his plans.
As first reported by WrestleVotes, CM Punk will have an in-ring segment where he will talk about his desire to “main event” WrestleMania 40. There are no further details available right now and there’s no confirmation on who his opponent will be but if you’ve been following social media in the last couple of weeks, it should be clear what the direction is for Punk.
Seth Rollins did an interview on Jimmy Traina’s SI Media podcast where he talked about his issues with Punk over the years, specifically his feelings about how Punk has treated him and his friends and his belief that Punk is being hypocritical in returning to WWE after ripping the company for years.
It’s expected that it will be Roman Reigns defending the WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania against Cody Rhodes and that would be the main event of the second night. Punk and Rollins appears to be the direction for WrestleMania. If it happens then most likely it would main event the first night.
