CM Punk Teared Up In Emotional Moment After WWE WrestleMania 41
CM Punk headlined WrestleMania 41 Night 1 in a Triple Threat Match against Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins.
The build-up to the match included a segment that connected dots from the past, where Paul Heyman had once told Punk that they would walk down the ramp together when he main-evented The Show of Shows.
Since Heyman owed him a favour for Elimination Chamber, CM Punk asked the Hall of Famer to be in his corner over Roman Reigns’ at WrestleMania 41.

In WWE: Unreal, a backstage clip shows CM Punk tearing up while recalling the moment he realized he had achieved the one thing he had wanted since he was a kid.
It was everything I wanted since I was a little kid. It’s all I ever wanted to do. I just did it.

Interestingly, Triple H’s pick for the winner of the Triple Threat Match was CM Punk, but another writer disagreed and the team in another direction.
Currently, The Best in the World is in a feud with Gunther and will face The Ring General at SummerSlam for the World Heavyweight Championship.
