“Triple Threat”: CM Punk’s Instagram Story Sparks Rumors of Competitive WrestleMania XL Return in Championship Match

The WWE Universe found itself erupting with joy when it witnessed a comeback that was almost a decade in waiting. CM Punk set the internet ablaze with his unannounced, yet highly speculated return at the 2023 Survivor Series event. CM Punk made his in-ring return with the 2024 Royal Rumble, the same match post which he parted ways with WWE in 2014. 

But, while the audience thought that Punk would win the Rumble, Cody Rhodes won the match. To add to the woes of Punk fans, The Second City Saint even got injured right after the match. This ruled him out of his storied match against Seth Rollins at WrestleMania XL. However, a new update brings fans a new wave of hope. In fact, fans are going crazy over the theory that the former AEW star will take the fight to Rollins after all.

When an eyesore was ‘cast’ aside

The injury of CM Punk truly devastated every fan who posted their cloud nine reactions on social media when he returned. Considering Seth Rollins and the Chicago-based star have an off-screen beef as well, fans were overhyped to see the clash. But, all the fans got was seeing their champion back, but instead of a belt on his shoulder, his arm was in a cast. A recent tweet on X however, showcased a story by CM Punk that showed him working his triceps in the gym. More importantly, the cast, which had become an eyesore for his fans was off his arm.

For the passionate CM Punk fanbase, this was enough to usher rumors of his WrestleMania XL return. WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins will be facing Drew McIntyre at Mania to defend his title.

The Scottish Psychopath made his way to the contest via the Elimination Chamber. However, fans speculate a change of plans now that Punk is relatively healthy again.

The WWE Universe gets excited about the second coming of CM Punk

CM Punk fans were quick to hop on the excitement train as soon as they saw the cast off Punk’s arm. The original return in September was already dubbed the biggest comeback. However, a fan said that its second iteration would be even bigger.

The joy was further propagated by another fan who noted a similar scenario where Punk’s biggest rival. John Cena made a return.

Adding another layer of intensity to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship match, a fan predicted a three-way match.

While the news does warrant excitement from the fans, a CM Punk fan made a realistic comment.

This was further echoed and reiterated by another fan, who wrote that CM Punk’s involvement may not just revolve around Seth Rollins and the World Heavyweight title.
