CM Punk main evented his first WrestleMania on Saturday, taking on Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns in the headlining bout of night one of WrestleMania 41.
Punk entered to a live performance of "Cult of Personality" by Living Colour and Paul Heyman by his side.
"Me main eventing WrestleMania was important to me and I needed to share it with somebody who got me there, somebody who never gave up on me. Now, he's turned on me," said Punk on the ESPN WrestleMania 41 post-show.
Heyman betrayed Punk and Reigns, aligning with Rollins to close the show.
Before the match, a video package played with "This Fire Burns" by Killswitch Engage used to highlight Punk's WWE career.
"I was a crying baby, literally, the whole day. I had to run out of Gorilla when they started playing the video package. I saw 26 year old me. I am nothing without the fans. The equity, the years I put into this, the time away. Fighting in the UFC, doing all these other things and then coming back and feeling, 'I'm home.' Now, I'm ready for the crown and ready for the responsibility to main event my first WrestleMania and when I say that, I say it because it's my first, it's not the last," said Punk.
