New Delhi: CM Punk and John Cena are determined to find their way to WrestleMania 41 after falling short in the men’s Royal Rumble match. Both veterans made it to the final six before chaos unfolded. Punk took advantage of Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins fighting each other, eliminating both men at once.
But before he could celebrate, Logan Paul threw him over the top rope, ending his hopes of winning the match. Frustrated, Reigns screamed at Punk from ringside before Rollins attacked both men, leading to a heated brawl that WWE officials had to break up.
Meanwhile, John Cena came agonisingly close to victory, reaching the final two before Jey Uso eliminated him to claim the Royal Rumble win. Despite their eliminations, Punk and Cena have both earned spots in the upcoming Elimination Chamber match.
However, WWE’s long-term plans for both stars remain uncertain, with new reports suggesting major changes to the WrestleMania 41 card.
WWE plans for WrestleMania 41 are changing
There are people within WWE that would rather Cody Rhodes defend the Undisputed Championship in a triple threat match against John Cena and CM Punk at #WrestleMania 41 than Punk v Roman Reigns v Seth Rollins.

While early rumours pointed to a triple-threat match between CM Punk, Roman Reigns, and Seth Rollins, backstage discussions may be shifting the direction. Reports now indicate that WWE officials are considering adding Punk to John Cena vs. Cody Rhodes, creating a new triple-threat match for the top championship at WrestleMania 41.
According to WrestleVotes, multiple backstage figures believe that Punk vs. Cena vs. Rhodes would be a stronger main event than Punk vs. Rollins vs. Reigns. Though no official confirmation has been made, the idea is reportedly gaining support within WWE. If this change happens, it would completely alter the WrestleMania 41 landscape.
Cena is currently the favourite to win the Elimination Chamber and secure his shot at Cody Rhodes. However, if WWE decides to add Punk to the mix, the WrestleMania 41 main event could take an unexpected turn. With backstage discussions still ongoing, fans will have to wait and see how the final card shapes up.
