Paul Heyman comes in and tells Punk he knows he's “looking for it.”
“You're closing the show at WrestleMania,” he cheered a lot in London. “You can live the dreams of all your dreams. CMPunk, you are a major event at WrestleMania.”
Punk was a bit emotional as he learned he was going to become a WrestleMania for the event.
The history of each other's trio dates back when Rollins and Reign were members of a well-known faction called the Shield. But it is their latest history that has built their feud at an explosive point.
Punk returned to WWE in the Survivor Series Wargames in 2023, with Rollins departing. However, his time was short-lived when he tore his triceps in the subsequent Royal Rumble. Punk had to send Drew McIntyre and reluctantly ruled his supporters before the long building match against Rollins.
Rollins and Punk won the “Best of the World” episode on Netflix's “Mondany Night Raw.” As a result, a feud at Royal Rumble was in the ring at the same time, when Rollins, Punk and the Ruler were in the ring.

John Cena vows to “smash wrestling” in pursuit of WrestleMania 41's 17th WWE title
Punk eliminated Rollins and Reign before Logan Paul threw him on the top rope. The three were shocked to the outside, causing tension to explode outside the ring. Rollins nailed the rule with two stomps.
Rollins and Punk squared them in a cage match earlier this month, winning when Reign pulled him out of the cage. The ruler embraced both men with spears.
The rivalry comes to mind on April 19th. Punk reaches the WrestleMania event for the first time in his career.
Reigns said in the segment that Punk ultimately got the favor he wanted from Heyman.
And while Punk was grateful to be full of reign, he made it clear that it was not the favor he was promised.
Reigns has participated in the last four Wrestlemanias main events, and has participated in both main events last year. Rollins also took part in last year's main event and worked with Cody Rhodes to take on governance and rock.
