Punk began issues off by saying, “CM Punk has lots on his plate, however one thing not on my plate is Seth Rollins.” Then Punk stated, “To win the Rumble is one in all my goals, and that precipitated me to see within the distance what I believed was my profession fading away. My goals that had been so scary and couldn’t see.” Then Punk added the Cena trademark whereas saying “I couldn’t see.”
Punk then addressed Cena instantly, saying, “John Cena, I see you, and I at all times have my buddy. And I see that John Cena has declared himself for the Royal Rumble, and I’m right here to inform you so have I. CM Punk in 2025 goes to throw 29 different individuals excessive rope. And also you’re going to listen to my music, cult of persona, play my tune!”
That’s when Rollins got here out, a lot to Punk’s chagrin. Rollins was sporting an injured eye after which advised Punk that he was displaying up simply as he stated he was going to earlier than they’d their match. “A person of my phrase, if I wasn’t a person of my phrase, if I didn’t present up when occasions received onerous, it wouldn’t be me. it could in truth be you,” Rollins stated, to which Punk responded, “However I’d be the winner nonetheless proper?”
Rollins stated, “I might somewhat be the worst model of myself than be any model of you. I’ve misplaced loads of matches man.

Drew McIntyre then got here out and took a shot at Rollins, although Punk thought it was directed at him. Rollins challenged him to a match and Punk was down for one too, however McIntyre wasn’t going to try this on simply any present. What McIntyre did say was that he was additionally going to be within the Rumble, and now there are 5 major occasion stage superstars already concerned, together with McIntyre, Rollins, Punk, Reigns, and Cena.
That makes a winner tough to nail down, because it might be any of them or none of them in the event that they take one another out. McIntyre might take out Punk or Rollins, and Rollins might do the identical to Punk or McIntyre. Reigns might price Cena and Cena might price Reigns, however greater than seemingly Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline would be the explanation for a Reigns loss. That leaves Cena as somebody who might find yourself the winner, however that is solely 5 out of a 30-man discipline, so it would solely get extra difficult from right here.
