“Knows His Role”: CM Punk Reveals Status of Possible Fight With Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson After WrestleMania XL

Last week, after a few weeks of rumors, it was confirmed on Monday Night RAW that CM Punk will be at WrestleMania 40. Although at the time it was unknown in what role. Now, after a much-talked-about segment on social media, it has been confirmed what Punk will do at WrestleMania 40 which will take place in less than two weeks.

Recently on RAW, CM Punk gave a promo and talked about WrestleMania 40 and his role in the show. He named the options of being a host, commentator, or special referee. Afterward, Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins interrupted, and, after a series of verbal exchanges, McIntyre invited Punk to the commentary table for his match against Seth Rollins. And the Chicago wrestler ended up stating that he would be there. But what’s next for Punk after this? Well, we might have answers.

Punk hints at a future feud

After the conclusion of tonight’s edition of RAW, CM Punk gave a backstage interview to the WWE. During the conversation, Punk was asked what he thinks of the Rock returning as well as him being name-dropped. This led to a reply that will surely stir the pot of speculation. Punk said that he would be crossing paths with everyone who used his name. And that list also includes the Rock. He said, “I’m glad The Rock’s back. And it’s good to see that he knows his role and he’s kept his mouth shut. Anything goes here in this new era of the WWE. Me being back, I’m gonna cross path with everybody sooner or later.”

This surely would be an interesting matchup. And something that fans would want to happen. But there might be another opponent he might face once he returns. One that would make the most sense. Who is it? It’s none other than the Scottish Warrior.

Drew McIntyre wants to face CM Punk

The rivalry between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre has picked up steam after the former AEW star suffered an injury at the 2024 Royal Rumble. A Future Shock DDT from McIntyre caused the injury. Since then, the Scotsman has taken every opportunity to mock and verbally attack Punk. This animosity has raised expectations of a showdown between the two as soon as the Chicago-based star is physically cleared to compete.

In a recent interview with The Ringer, Drew McIntyre expressed his opinion of CM Punk. He called him an idiot, although he acknowledged that Punk has a knack for attracting the interest of fans. Something that is financially beneficial to him. The former WWE champion reiterated his desire to face Punk as soon as he gets the chance. But he also warned that he doesn’t think the Second City Saint is ready to face the current Drew McIntyre in the ring and he is made of glass.

Although Punk would be at the commentary table, he will likely have an interaction with McIntyre at Mania. The Scottish Warrior will face Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Championship, taking the spot that was initially expected to go to Punk. So what do you think? Who would Punk face next? Let us know in the comments.
