WWE was finally set to give CM Punk his WrestleMania main event. He was rumored to headline WrestleMania XL Night One against Seth Rollins, the WWE World Heavyweight Champion at the time.

Unfortunately, during his first televised WWE match at Royal Rumble 2024, CM Punk triggered an old tricep injury he got during his AEW run; Punk had to take time off to recover and surgically fix his tricep. Meanwhile, WWE and CM Punk utilized the injury and crafted one of the best storylines, where WWE built tension between Drew McIntyre, whose DDT injured Punk.
