CM Punk Addresses Potentially Facing Steve Austin at WrestleMania 41

WrestleMania 41 is already generating buzz as WWE confirmed that the event will take place in Las Vegas at Allegiant Stadium on April 19 and April 20, 2025. Adding to the excitement, WWE Hall of Famer ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin has hinted at possibly making an appearance at the event, fueling speculation about a dream match between him and CM Punk.

Austin’s shocking return to in-ring action at WrestleMania 38, where he faced Kevin Owens, reignited fan interest in seeing “The Texas Rattlesnake” compete again. Since that match, Austin has stayed away from the ring but has hinted that WrestleMania 41 could mark another return. The possibility of a match with CM Punk is especially enticing for fans, as it has been a dream match for over a decade.

During an appearance at Fanatics Fest, CM Punk addressed the potential showdown with Austin. Punk made it clear that while he is ready for the challenge, the decision ultimately lies with Austin.

“That would be up to Steve, it’s not up to me,” Punk said. “Because I think he had a pretty good return, main evented WrestleMania. At this point, his six shooters might be buried in the desert, but if he wants to dig ’em up, I’m your Huckleberry. It should have happened 10+ years ago, if he wants to go to sleep, he can call me.”
