WWE has reacted to Sami Zayn's massive roast of CM Punk on tonight's episode of RAW. Zayn pointed out the fact that he is a WrestleMania headliner while Punk isn't. Fans are aware that not main eventing 'Mania has been eating up Punk from the inside for years on end at this point.

The Second City Saint was one of WWE's top names during his previous run and wrestled some of the biggest names in the company. He held the top title for 434 straight days during one of his reigns in 2011-13. Unfortunately, he was never given a chance to headline The Show of Shows.
During an interview last week, Punk mentioned Sami Zayn, who is set to be a part of the Royal Rumble match, and stated that the latter was not on his level.

In a backstage interaction on RAW tonight, Sami Zayn told Punk the two aren't on the same level because he has headlined WrestleMania, unlike Punk. WWE put up the clip on its X/Twitter handle and wrote a three-word message in response.
"Sami went there 😲"
It seems like the promotion is building towards a WrestleMania 41 main event involving Punk, judging by what happened between him and Zayn tonight. Punk wants nothing but to headline the biggest show in sports entertainment at least once before he calls it quits. Many of his fans believe this will finally be the year Punk's dream comes true.

While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
