Fans have been anticipating a clash between CM Punk and Seth Rollins ever since the former made his return to WWE. While many thought that a Royal Rumble would open the doors for the Chicago native to go after the Visionary, it seems like Triple H and Co. have a different plan in mind.
CM Punk declared himself for the annual Men's Royal Rumble match a few weeks back. Although he is one of the favorites to win this year, multiple other names are also gunning for the WrestleMania main event spot. Gunther also threw in his name in the hat recently. The Ring General also warned Rollins that he will dethrone him at WrestleMania 40.
It seems like the Imperium leader may go all the way this year after coming short last time. According to Sports Illustrated, Gunther is the favorite to win the Royal Rumble this year. The news source added that he is also likely to defeat Seth Rollins and win the World Heavyweight Championship on Night One of WrestleMania.
