CM Punk says he’ll be at WWE WrestleMania 40

CM Punk is going to WrestleMania, whether he’s invited or not.

During a video promoting his appearance on Raw next week in Chicago, Punk said he’d be at WrestleMania in Philadelphia next month.

“WrestleMania is in Philadelphia,” Punk said. What are the first four letters in Philadelphia? Phil…whether or not I’m invited, it never matters to CM Punk, he’ll be there.”

Punk’s first televised match since his WWE return in November took place back at the Royal Rumble in January. Despite tearing his tricep in the match, he was the last person eliminated from the Rumble by eventual winner Cody Rhodes. On the following Raw, Punk arrived in a sling and announced WrestleMania wasn’t in the cards for him. This resulted in Drew McIntyre coming out and mocking Punk over his circumstances, leading to a brawl.

In the weeks since, McIntyre has continued to use Punk’s name in promos, to the point of selling merchandise related to his actions following the Royal Rumble. McIntyre has since went on to win the Elimination Chamber match in Perth and will challenge Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight title at WrestleMania 40.
