Several outlets noted that WWE officials were aiming to feature Punk in a marquee match at WrestleMania 41, with suggestions that a world title scenario or a high-profile feud involving top stars like Seth Rollins or Roman Reigns had been considered, though specifics and opponents shifted over time.[3][7][9]
-
Public noise around WrestleMania 41 has included rumors of a triple-threat scenario and debate over whether Punk would main event or not, but several insiders cautioned that plans could evolve before showtime.[6][7][3]

After 2024, Punk’s status and role at WrestleMania 41 remained a frequently updated topic, with various outlets reporting different directions and updates as WWE executives refined the storyline. Expect further official updates as the event approaches.[8][1]
