CM Punk doesn’t ‘really differentiate’ between WWE WrestleMania nights
To CM Punk, there is no real difference between nights one and two of WWE WrestleMania.
Punk headlined WrestleMania 41 night one in 2025 when he faced off against Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins in a triple threat match. This year, Punk vs. Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship will take up one of the main event spots. But it doesn’t sound like Punk cares very much whether that match happens on night one or two. He appeared on Up & Adams at Super Bowl Radio Row today and was asked what the difference between the two nights is.
“This is often debated. I think WrestleMania is so big, and I think our roster is so deep, it’s hard to spotlight all the talented people who deserve those spots. To me, two nights, it’s better than one. I don’t really differentiate between night one and night two,” Punk responded.
“I look at it like a Lollapalooza or what’s another huge [music] festival? They’re multiple nights, you’ve got a headliner every single night, you know what I mean? Lucky for us, you get to wake up again and do it the next day. Last year, night one afforded me the ability to be completely stress free night two and I got to be a fan and I got to sit and watch the show, so I loved that. I absolutely loved it.”
Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas hosted WrestleMania last year and will be the venue again for WrestleMania 42. The show is taking place on Saturday, April 18 and Sunday, April 19.
