CM Punk’s WWE career has been both legendary and controversial. He won multiple championships but never achieved his dream of headlining WrestleMania. Many fans blame The Rock for this, including one who recently claimed The Great One hated CM Punk. After noticing the comment, The Rock responded in his own style.
A fan shared a video on Instagram accusing The Rock of holding a grudge against Punk. The fan claimed The Rock would never let Punk main-event WrestleMania if he had any influence. The video eventually reached The Rock, who didn’t hold back in his reply.
The Rock dismissed rumors of any bad blood between them. He stated their relationship was fine and explained WrestleMania’s main event is chosen based on business decisions. He ended his response by calling the fan a clown.
First of all, Punk and I have become good buddies over the years. We’re solid. Secondly, whatever match making scenario is best for true long term (not short term) business success – that will be out Mania main event. Lastly, you’re clown.

On the latest SmackDown, Punk, Roman Reigns, and Seth Rollins signed contracts for their WrestleMania 41 triple threat match. Paul Heyman confirmed Punk would finally main-event WrestleMania. Now, fans wonder if the 46-year-old can win in his first WrestleMania main event.
Paul Heyman is supposedly siding with CM Punk
The Night 1 main event of WrestleMania 41 is set—a triple threat match featuring Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Seth Rollins. For Punk, this marks a major milestone as he main-events WrestleMania for the first time. Making the moment even more special, Paul Heyman personally delivered the news. During the contract signing, the Hall of Famer dropped subtle hints about what could happen at the grand event.
Reigns asserted that Punk was in the main event only because of him. He then demanded that Punk acknowledge and thank him for the opportunity. However, fans noticed Heyman quietly mouthing the word “don’t” as Reigns made his demand. This subtle moment suggests that Heyman’s loyalty to The Tribal Chief may not be as strong as it seems.
Punk responded by stating that this was not the favor he was owed. Both Reigns and Heyman showed visible concern at his words. This adds another layer of mystery, leaving fans wondering what the true favor might be. The answer will likely unfold at WrestleMania itself.
Many believe Heyman is planning to betray Reigns when the time comes. Speculation is growing that he will turn on his Tribal Chief and side with Punk. If that happens, it could change the landscape of WWE forever.
