CM Punk Discusses the Significance of Main Eventing WrestleMania

In the original main event of WrestleMania 41 Night Two, John Cena emerged victorious against Cody Rhodes to claim the Undisputed WWE Championship. This has led some fans to believe that CM Punk has yet to reach his ultimate goal. Nonetheless, Punk has articulated the importance of headlining WrestleMania for his career advancement and financial gain.

“The reason why I was so obsessed with the main event of WrestleMania is pay scale. There isn’t a single person that can criticize me that can explain professional wrestling pay scale. If I’m in the main event, I get paid more money.”

CM Punk was last seen on the April 21 episode of Monday Night Raw, where he and Roman Reigns faced a brutal attack from Seth Rollins, Paul Heyman, and Bron Breakker. During the Instagram Live session, a fan asked if he would be appearing on the May 5 episode of Raw in Omaha, to which he replied that he needed more time off following WrestleMania.
