Some in WWE Against CM Punk Joining WrestleMania Title Match – As WrestleMania 41 draws closer, the main event picture is coming into focus. John Cena is currently seen as the frontrunner to win the Elimination Chamber match and challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at the biggest show of the year.
While this appears to be the current direction, WrestleVotes recently reported that some within WWE have pushed for CM Punk to be added to the match, turning it into a triple threat between Rhodes, Cena, and Punk. This would alter previous plans, which had Punk involved in a separate triple threat match against Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns.
On the latest episode of WrestleVotes Radio on SportsKeeda’s Backstage Pass Patreon, it was noted that not everyone within WWE supports making the change, and it is ultimately not expected to happen.
The report stated:
“Continuing with more context on Tuesday night’s SportsKeeda show with Bill Apter regarding WrestleMania main event plans, we know that some in WWE would prefer a three-way match between Cody Rhodes, John Cena, and CM Punk as opposed to the rumored singles match between Rhodes and Cena and the rumored triple threat match between Punk, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns. According to a source, those feelings are not shared by everyone, with the expectation of this match being that it will not happen. We can confirm the Mania card is still being completed in totality. However, the high-level matches are likely set, so TC, the meat and potatoes of this little nugget, is that there are people that want Rhodes vs. Cena vs. Punk. However, it doesn’t seem like everybody wants it, and those people who don’t want it look to be holding the power.”
Although the full WrestleMania 41 card is still being finalized, most top matches seem locked in. Unless WWE makes a late shift, the expectation is that Rhodes vs. Cena will remain a singles match, while Punk stays involved with Rollins and Reigns.
