Triple H and WWE officials are putting the finishing touches on the WrestleMania 40 card, and a highlight match slated for Night Two is between Drew McIntyre and WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins.
The clash presents a formidable challenge for Rollins, who recently defended his title against McIntyre on WWE RAW: Day 1. Their ongoing feud escalated when CM Punk made a surprising return to Chicago, hinting at a potential involvement in their WrestleMania showdown.
While rumors circulated that Punk might officiate as a special guest referee, nothing has been confirmed. However, Punk expressed interest in the role, acknowledging his bias against both competitors.
“I would like to maybe try my hand out as a referee. But, I wouldn’t be able to be impartial with both these idiots, so maybe commentary is the best thing to do,”
CM Punk mentioned during an interview.
Speculation arises from Punk’s recent return and his tense dynamic with Rollins and McIntyre. There’s potential for a feud to develop further post-WrestleMania, with seeds possibly planted during the event.
As the final RAW before WrestleMania 40 approaches, there’s no indication yet of Punk’s involvement as a referee.
However, all three superstars are expected to make an appearance on the upcoming Monday’s show.
Triple H, WWE’s backstage authority, took a hands-off approach during a recent RAW segment featuring CM Punk, Seth Rollins, and Drew McIntyre.
The segment saw the trio engage in an intense promo, deviating from the script at times.
McIntyre shed light on the unscripted nature of their exchange, emphasizing the authenticity of their verbal jousting.
Despite personal animosity, the wrestlers demonstrated their professionalism in delivering a compelling performance.
During the RAW promo, CM Punk surprised both Triple H and WWE management by using profanity, deviating from the advised guidelines.
Nevertheless, there was reportedly no backlash from WWE executives, indicating a willingness to embrace spontaneity in performances.
With WrestleMania 40 on the horizon, anticipation builds for what unfolds on the final RAW, where top superstars will converge ahead of the grand event.
