CM Punk Wants to Main Event WrestleMania – CM Punk appeared at the Amica Mutual Pavilion, Providence, RI, for the Tribute to the Troops special edition of SmackDown and, as always, delivered a big promo.
His promo was loaded with references, potential matchups, and a whole lot of attitude. He seemed to relish the opportunity to engage the audience, discussing potential signings with Raw or SmackDown and throwing shade at various WWE stars.
He teased possibilities with Cody Rhodes, acknowledged Roman Reigns’ success while staking his own claim as Paul Heyman’s original guy, and even delved into the possibility of teaming up or facing off against names like Randy Orton, LA Knight, Kevin Owens, and more.
But the core of his message was clear: CM Punk is back to reignite unfinished business and gun for the main event at WrestleMania. He’s set on being the obstacle in everyone else’s path, determined to start what he began and, ultimately, strive for that coveted WrestleMania main event spot.
It looks like Monday might bring some clarity on Punk’s decision, and the WWE landscape is bound to get a lot more interesting with the ‘spicy’ CM Punk back in action!
CM Punk Promo
Here is a full recap of the promo:
We are back and CM Punk makes his way to the ring.
Punk says he has good news. He says he is not at the end of the show so he is not getting his time cut. He tells the people to chant if they want.
Punk says Adam Pearce is trying to sign him to Raw. He says he thinks they were a little louder on Raw. He says people asked him where is he going to sign. He says he is partially going to leave it up to you. He asks if they want him to be on Raw or on Smackdown. He asks if they want him to throw 29 other people over the top rope so he can stand on the turnbuckles to point at the Wrestlemania sign. Punk says the person who welcomed him back with open arms usually asks what do you want to talk about. Punk says there are some people who don’t like the happy go lucky CM Punk who says he likes you guys. Punk says he would like to be the spicy CM Punk you want to hear.
It isn’t what do you want to talk about. It is who do you want him to talk about?
Punk asks if you want him to talk about Cody Rhodes because he has some stories. Do you want him to talk about someone who isn’t here. Someone who is never here. Roman Reigns. Punk says he acknowledges him and congratulates him on all of his success. Punk reminds Roman who is Paul Heyman’s OG guy. He says Paul was his wise man. Punk says he is not familiar with Solo, but he knows his brother Jimmy. Punk shouts out Jey Uso. Punk asks if he wants to hang out with Jey on Raw or scrap with Jimmy on Smackdown. He says Jimmy has a lot of cousins. If he scraps with Jimmy and he needs back up.
Can he trust a guy he has history with who hears voices in his head. Can he get along with Randy?
Another guy who would probably team with him is Randy’s partner LA Knight.
Punk says someone mentioned Kevin Owens. Punk asks if he can tag with Kevin. Maybe he can fight Kevin. He says Kevin is a bit prickly and says they are probably too much alike. He says he doesn’t know if he would like to work with someone who randomly punches people in the back. It is 2023 and you can’t be doing that stuff. He mentions seeing JBL. Everyone has welcomed him back with open arms, except for that one guy.
Punk says he is not going to give any stock in what he says because of his whiny voice. He isn’t even the man in his own household. All he has is that song so keep it up, while Punk hears people humming the song. Punk leads the chorus of humming.
Punk says we will find out on Monday where he will sign. He says he will hear from Nick Aldis. He has a phone call with Shawn Michaels to hear him talk about NXT. Punk will talk with Adam Pearce in Cleveland on Monday, the city he walked away from WWE almost 10 years ago..
Everyone he has talked about has one glaring thing in their way and that is that he is back and he is in the way of their goals. Everyone talks about finishing their stories and he is back to start what he began. He has one goal and that is main eventing Wrestlemania.
