CM Punk has made it no secret that he hopes to one day main event WrestleMania.
He'll get an opportunity to do that at WWE Elimination Chamber if he wins the Elimination Chamber match to earn a shot at the Undisputed WWE Championship.
Speaking to Alex McCarthy for Inside The Ropes, Punk was asked about main eventing WrestleMania and concern that The Rock returning would put that in jeopardy again.
“Sure, but I also think that the things that I may have said or did 10, 12 years ago, I think there’s a lot of fans that have held onto that say more than I have. I think there’s a lot of things that are less important to me in 2025. So yeah, sometimes I’m like, well, it’s really not that big of a deal. Main eventing WrestleMania has always been a goal of mine. But goals change. It doesn’t mean I don’t want to wrestle in the main event of WrestleMania, but I’m at the stage of my career now where I’m like, ‘Oh, okay. So this person’s gonna main event? Alright, well. You’re not gonna be able to follow this, so I don’t know what to tell you. I’ll go first and I’ll shower, and I’ll eat some doughnuts, and I’ll watch whatever you call a main event, and I’ll just go, 'Well, yeah, all right. I was right. They couldn’t follow it,'" said Punk.
The Rock returned in 2013 to defeat CM Punk for the WWE Championship. Rock main evented WrestleMania against John Cena while Punk faced The Undertaker.
