Such a massive match on the road to WrestleMania 41 would put the two stars in the spotlight. If WWE could execute a successful heel turn for Sami Zayn similar to Drew McIntyre or Kevin Owens, a rivalry with The Straight Edge Superstar could be a game-changing move.

Punk was still present at the show and made his impact known (sorry Drew McIntyre), though not in a wrestling capacity. Now, in 2025 and fully healthy once more, fans have begun to theorize what The Second City Saint will be doing at WrestleMania 41 this year.

WWE star CM Punk started "Monday Night Raw" with a shoutout for firefighters and first responders battling the wildfires in Los Angeles.

Previously, Jeff Hardy and CM Punk had a heated WWE feud. In 2009, Punk cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on Hardy to win the World Heavyweight Championship.

Bully Ray suggested a storyline for the favor that Paul Heyman owes CM Punk, which could happen if Punk doesn't win the Royal Rumble or Elimination Chamber.
