CM Punk offers to finish Hulk Hogan at the 2025 WWE Royal Rumble
From 2025 Royal Rumble fast approaching CM Punk made his intentions clear: he wanted to win the battle royal and main event WrestleMania.
On paper, “The Best in the World” has about as good a chance as anyone else in the game to win Rumblesince he is among the biggest stars on RAVthere are natural strife across the vvv landscape, and beyond defeating Seth Rollins RAV’s Netflix debuthe’s riding one hell of a wave of momentum dating back to Bad Blood in October.
And yet, on Monday, Punk decided to add insult to injury with a crazy promo, reducing potential foes from John Cena to Hulk Hogan reduced to greatness in a way that only the “Saint of Another Town” can.
“History. And I’m a history maker, just three short weeks ago I headlined the first Monday Night Raw live on Netflix. It was just three weeks ago that I main evented the first Monday Night Raw on Netflix and beat Seth Rollins, someone who favored this Royal Rumble. It’s a very volatile job; what have you done for me lately. I’ve been making history lately and I’ll do it in two short weeks at the Royal Rumble when I walk in and throw 29 other ‘Superstars’ over the ropes. The stakes are too high. The lights are too bright. The pressure is on. And that’s when CM Punk comes alive and that’s when he thrives. Nobody can beat me when I’m at my best, with these people behind me,” Punk stated.

“Did you say John Cena? I can’t see John Cena throwing me over the top rope on February 1st. Did you say Roman Reigns? Roman Reigns needed my help to take care of the family business in WarGames and in the Royal Rumble, he has no friends; it’s every man for himself. I put Drew McIntire in the ground. Don’t ask me about Sami Zayn, he’s not on my level. Put Hulk Hogan in the Rumble and I’ll throw his dusty dick over the top rope and kill Hulkamania once and for all. February 1st, 60,000 people, live at the Peacock, live in living color at Lucas Oil Field in Indianapolis, Indiana, my name is CM Punk and I settle bills and collect debts, and call in a favor or two if need be. But at the end of the night, 29 other men go on the night, and one man raises his hand. One man, three syllables: CM Punk!
Oh snap, Punk vs. Hogan? Now that’s a fight almost every single fan in the business can fall behind, but only if it ends with Punker going over. They even have a natural approach, Hogan offering Punk a beer to settle their differences, only for Punker to put him to sleep and write him off television forever. I’m definitely here for that.
