There\'s been plenty of talk about Cody Rhodes\' soul, an abstract that The Rock seeks to claim, but could CM Punk prove to be an effective Plan-B for the Final Boss? Before the February 28, edition of WWE SmackDown, an Elimination Chamber kick-off event took place, where Punk made an appearance. Speaking candily, Punk acknowledged that 2025 could be his final opportunity to headline WrestleMania, and failing to earn a title match in the Elimination Chamber could result in Punk calling in a favor.

On SmackDown, Punk further teased an unconventional route to the WrestleMania 41 main event. Backstage with Cody Rhodes, Punk said he wants Rhodes to reject the offer. However, Punk admitted that in his younger days, he would have accepted The Rock\'s offer to guarantee main event success.
Punk has yet to headline WrestleMania, one of the few accolades the Best in the World is missing from his career. If Cody turns down the Brahma Bull, then it\'s entirely possible that Punk will agree to be The Rock\'s champion, knowing the perks that would come with this role. Fans will have to stay tuned to see what decision Cody makes, and whether CM Punk gets involved in the issues between the Undisputed WWE Champion and the Final Boss.
