In the main event of Night One of WrestleMania 41, CM Punk went up against Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. During the bout, Paul Heyman betrayed Punk and Reigns and aligned himself with Rollins. The following week on WWE RAW, The Visionary addressed his win at WrestleMania 41, but he was interrupted by Punk. The Architect was able to take out The Second City Saint, and Reigns also came out, but was ambushed by Bron Breakker instead. The Best in the World was not seen on television programming since then, before the latest edition of the red brand.

Tonight at Backlash 2025, WWE announced that Punk would return next week on RAW to address the fans for the first time since his loss at WrestleMania 41. While he did show up on the RAW after WrestleMania and this week, he didn't address the fans regarding the betrayal from Paul Heyman at The Show of Shows.
It will be interesting to see what CM Punk will have to say on RAW next week.

Sunil admires former world champions AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, and Kenny Omega for their ability to consistently deliver great matches as well as entertain crowds with their mic skills.
If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
