WrestleMania 41: Will CM Punk be added to Cody Rhodes, John Cena's title match? WWE may have already dropped a few hints
WrestleMania 41: Recent events suggest that the WWE may be laying the groundwork to add CM Punk to the Undisputed WWE Championship match at WrestleMania, which currently features John Cena and Cody Rhodes.

WrestleMania 41: John Cena is gearing up to challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41. This will mark the soon-to-retire star*s final appearance at the &Show of Shows*. The match promises to be a challenging one for Rhodes as Cena, who &sold his soul* to The Rock at Elimination Chamber 2025, is likely to have &The Final Boss* and rapper Travis Scott in his corner. Now, it seems that the championship bout is likely to become even more intriguing than it already is. Going by the events of this and last week*s Raw, the WWE may add CM Punk to the Cody Rhodes-John Cena feud
Is the WWE set to add CM Punk to John Cena, Cody Rhodes Feud?
John Cena and Cody Rhodes* upcoming bout at WrestleMania 41 promises to be absolute slobberknocker. However, going by recent events, the WWE may add CM Punk to it and make it a &Triple-Threat Match*.
The promotion dropped a major hint of this when Cena won the Elimination Chamber Match a few weeks ago by beating the &Best in the World* in an unconvincing manner. The Cenation Leader locked Punk in the STF after Seth Rollins delivered a stomp to him.

The WWE followed this up with Punk*s brutal promo on Raw in which he called Cena and The Rock &bald frauds*. This indicates that their differences are far from over.
Punk is currently involved in a feud with Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins, who he eliminated from the titular match at the Royal Rumble event. A face value, this suggests that the three men will square off at WrestleMania 41. However, a closer look reveals a different picture. The Tribal Chief primarily has issues with Seth Rollins and rightly so as &The Archtect* briefly put him on the shelf by attacking him at Royal Rumble 2025. This explains why Reigns attacked his former Shield stablemate upon returning this week.
Punk, in fact, was not even in his line of fire till the former &Big Dog* caught Paul Heyman每 his manager每 attending to his former client. This indicates that there*s scope for Punk to be moved from this feud to the one involving Cena and Rhodes.
Adding Punk to this rivalry will essentially pave the way for a triple-threat contest at WrestleMania 41. This stipulation can be used to crown a new champion without spoiling Cody Rhodes* momentum, as he will not even have to take the fall. This would also open the door for a feud between Cena and CM Punk later in the year, which may result in some compelling programming.
The road ahead
Coming back to the present, John Cena is set to appear on Raw next week. Cody Rhodes too will be present in the arena that night. One can expect both men to exchange words (or even blows) when they come face to face. Punk too might get involved if the creative decides to add him to the feud.
WrestleMania 41 will be held in Las Vegas this April.
