CM Punk Emerges as Early Favorite for WWE Royal Rumble 2026

WHAT'S THE STORY?

What's Happening?

CM Punk is considered an early favorite to win the WWE Men's Royal Rumble in 2026, following his recent performances at SummerSlam 2025. Despite headlining WrestleMania 41 and briefly holding the World Heavyweight Championship, Punk has yet to win the Royal Rumble. His ongoing rivalry with Seth Rollins could culminate in a WrestleMania 42 showdown, with a potential Royal Rumble victory paving the way for Punk to capture the title.

Why It's Important?

CM Punk's potential Royal Rumble win could significantly impact WWE's storyline dynamics, elevating him to a main event status and intensifying his rivalry with Seth Rollins. A victory would not only fulfill Punk's career aspirations but also engage fans with compelling narratives leading up to WrestleMania 42. This development could boost WWE's viewership and fan engagement, as Punk remains a popular figure in professional wrestling.
