WWE News: CM Punk Believes Women’s World Title Match Should Have Headlined WrestleMania 41
In a recent interview on "The Masked Man Show," CM Punk expressed his thoughts on the upcoming WrestleMania pay-per-view event, where he is set to face Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins in a Triple Threat match. However, instead of hyping his own match, Punk stated that the WWE Women’s World Title match featuring IYO SKY, Rhea Ripley, and Bianca Belair should have been the main event of WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, NV.
According to EWrestlingNews.com, Punk declared, "People will constantly cherry-pick things I have said; they do it for everybody. ‘Oh, you said this one time 15 years ago.’ Yeah, I said it then, I meant it then, 15 year later, the context isn’t there and certain things change and it doesn’t necessarily apply. I’m very much a ‘title match main event.’ There is the sound byte all those fu*king losers are going to steal and put on their Twitter. If it were up to me, believe it or not, Rhea, Bianca, and IYO would be the main event."
Punk further explained his reasoning, stating, "I’m not saying which night. I can tell you that if I was in Triple H’s spot, I would gravitate towards that. My reasoning for that is, when is IYO ever going to get another chance? Bianca has done it already. It would be great if she got to do it again. Rhea hasn’t done it. You look at people that say ‘WrestleMania main event,’ Rhea Ripley is top of the list. I almost look at it more, that mindset that I have, it’s a detriment as a booker because I might not be putting business in front of my feelings. I’m putting my feelings in front of business."
As reported by EWrestlingNews.com, Punk also praised the talents of the three women, saying, "I think all three of those ladies are supremely talented. I know they’re going to steal the show." He continued, "I want to see my friends and my colleagues accomplish things. It doesn’t so much matter to me if I accomplish them. I know what it feels like to have that chip on my shoulder and be like, ‘This is my year, right?’ I’ve done things for 11.5 months, and then somebody comes in and goes, ‘Nope.’ It happens year after year and it gets a little much."
The comments made by CM Punk highlight the embarrassment of riches in the WWE locker room, with many talented wrestlers capable of main eventing WrestleMania. As EWrestlingNews.com reported, Punk noted, "Here I am arguing against myself. It’s funny how life works. I never thought I’d be saying any of that stuff ten years ago. I also think it’s kind of indicative of our locker room and the embarrassment of riches we have talent-wise that so many different people could be the main event. Bianca, Jey, Cody, obviously. Nobody is going to tell me that John Cena shouldn’t be main eventing WrestleMania in his last Mania."
The upcoming WrestleMania event promises to be an exciting one, with many top stars vying for attention. As CM Punk said, "Stay vigilant, everybody. Bust your a*s and if it’s meant to be, it’ll come to pass and I’m obviously living, breathing proof of that." The question on everyone’s mind remains: will the WWE Women’s World Title match featuring IYO SKY, Rhea Ripley, and Bianca Belair prove to be a highlight of the event?
In conclusion, CM Punk’s comments on the WWE Women’s World Title match have sparked debate among wrestling fans. According to EWrestlingNews.com, Punk believes that this match should have headlined WrestleMania 41, citing the talents of the three women involved. With WrestleMania fast approaching, fans will have to wait and see how the event unfolds.
