Moreover, he talked about SummerSlam 2025, when he survived Gunther and won the strap, only to lose it moments later when Seth Rollins cashed in on him. Then he said that, after all that, he could have reduced his schedule, had some donuts at home, and hung out with his hot wife. But instead, he stayed ready, and an opportunity arose when Rollins was forced to vacate the World Heavyweight Championship. He won the No. 1 contender’s match and later became the champion, beating Jey Uso.
Taking a lesson from that, Punk made it clear he would stay ready because he never knew when the championship opportunity would come. Interestingly, Cody Rhodes interrupted Pepsi Phill’s promo. The two babyfaces had a friendly promo until The Best in the World pointed out that he would come after The American Nightmare’s title sooner or later. The Prodigal Son, being a fighting champion, told him to tell when, laying the groundwork for their supermatch.
In this article, we will explore what Punk could do on the April 27 episode of Monday Night RAW:
#3. CM Punk could announce that he is leaving WWE RAW
Triple H and his creative team have sown the seeds for a dream match between The Second City Saint and The American Nightmare.
The company could capitalize on the hype by booking them for a match at WWE Backlash Premium Live Event, which could end controversially with Randy Orton returning to attack Rhodes, as their saga has not ended.
This move would also save Punk vs. Rhodes for later, perhaps at a bigger stage, such as SummerSlam or WrestleMania, to get a clear answer on who is the better babyface. To build a match against The Prodigal Son for Backlash, The Best in the World could announce his departure from WWE RAW to join Friday Night SmackDown.
#2. The former champion could form an alliance with his arch-rival
Seth Rollins and CM Punk have quite a history, and both men hate each other to the next level. They have competed against each other multiple times. However, their rivalry seems to be a never-ending saga.
Currently, The Visionary is a babyface and has been struggling against the stable he founded alongside Paul Heyman after WrestleMania 41. The Vision kicked him out last year, and most recently, Bron Breakker cost him his WrestleMania match against Gunther.
It’s officially The Vision vs. The Visionary. Punk also shares a bitter history with the Heyman’s heel stable, and in a shocking twist, he could cross paths with them on tonight’s edition of red brand. That could lead to The Best in the World saving Rollins from The Vision later on the show, with two bitter enemies coming together to hunt the common enemy.
#1. CM Punk could issue a warning to Roman Reigns
For now, it may appear that the Roman Reigns and CM Punk saga has reached its end, as The Second City Saint has teased a match against Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
Meanwhile, Jacob Fatu has challenged The Original Tribal Chief for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, and the Tribal Chief is all set to respond to his challenge tonight, having wanted The Samoan Werewolf to think about whether he was ready.
However, amid all this, shockingly, The Best in the World could confront Roman Reigns and let him know that while he was the better man at WrestleMania, they will be meeting again once he is done with his family stuff and becomes a fighting champion, laying the groundwork for a rematch that could happen later this year at a major stage such as WWE SummerSlam, Money in the Bank, or a Saudi Arabia premium live event.
That being said, it will be interesting to see what plans Triple H and his WWE creative team have in store for The Best in the World after he lost the World Heavyweight Championship, as the Stamford-based promotion heads closer to the 2026 Backlash Premium Live Event.
