6. CM Punk = WrestleMania Main Eventer

One of Punk's biggest bitches about WWE life before was that Vince McMahon never let him headline WrestleMania. The 'Voice Of The Voiceless' cried foul that part-timers like The Rock were drafted in for money-spinning efforts vs. John Cena, and he generally hated the fact that he wasn't in the convo for 'Mania main events.

2024 will change that.

WWE's annual juggernaut has morphed into an altogether wider beast in the modern era. WrestleMania takes place over multiple nights now, and that means there's more scope for workers to bag the top spot on cards than ever before. Case in point: An Undisputed Tag Title match headlining the first night in 2023.

Punk has never had a better chance to go on last at 'Mania. His coming showdown with Seth Rollins has heat, and it seems likely WWE will have the World Heavyweight Title headline one of the nights. Stick Punk vs. Seth down as a safe enough bet for night one.
