Monday Night Raw streaming on Netflix has attracted many top celebrities to attend the show. While some simply enjoy it from the audience, others get involved—sometimes even physically—with WWE Superstars. Popular American stand-up comedian Bert Kreischer did just that when he confronted Austin Theory and Grayson Waller.

After the latest episode of Monday Night Raw went off the air, Theory and Waller entered the ring and attacked CM Punk. They also hurled verbal insults at him and at Kreischer, who was sitting in the audience. When the former United States Champion threatened to slap Kreischer, he jumped the barricade, much to the crowd’s delight.

But before things got out of hand, Punk regained control and hit both Theory and Waller with the GTS. With both men down, The Best in the World helped Kreischer deliver a pair of chokeslams to A-Town Down Under. Both of them then celebrated in the ring, ending the show on a high note for the live audience. Earlier in the night, the former WWE Champion was also part of the main event segment alongside Paul Heyman and Seth Rollins.

Rollins got the upper hand on his longtime rival by hitting a curb stomp to close the show. He, Punk, and Roman Reigns will face off in a high-stakes Triple Threat main event at WrestleMania 41. It will be Punk’s first-ever WrestleMania main event. With all three men determined to win, fans eagerly await the outcome.

Whose side will Paul Heyman be on at the night of WrestleMania?

The past few weeks have been challenging for Heyman. After the favor was revealed that he would be in The Best in the World’s corner, The Original Tribal Chief gave him one chance to back out. However, to everyone’s surprise, Heyman apologized to Reigns and said he couldn’t go back on his word. This has created clear tension between him and his Tribal Chief.

To address the growing tension, the Hall of Famer appeared on the latest episode of Raw. The Hall of Famer made it clear that he would neither betray his Tribal Chief nor break the trust of his best friend. Rollins then came out and tried to reason with him, reminding Heyman that when he was put through a table by The Bloodline 2.0, neither Punk nor Reigns came to his aid.

After Rollins threatened Heyman, Punk came out, leading to a brawl between the two stars. In the end, it was The Architect who stood tall after hitting Punk with a Curb Stomp. Rollins even considered hitting Heyman with the same move but stopped himself. Instead, he told the Hall of Famer that he now owed him a favor at WrestleMania 41. Some fans are speculating that Heyman might betray both Punk and Reigns to align with The Visionary.

CM Punk reflects on his dream to main event WrestleMania

The Best in the World is finally living his dream to be in the main event of WrestleMania. He will wrestle Reigns and Rollins in a Triple Threat match on night one. Punker shared his thoughts on his match against the two guys whom he has known for a long time.

Speaking with Sebastian Hackl of WWE Deutschland, Punk said he helped bring Reigns and Rollins to the main roster years ago. He added that it made him proud to see how far they’ve come. Both stars debuted as part of The Shield and went on to headline several WrestleMania’s.

Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins are two guys I helped bring to the main roster years ago, so it’s amazing to see how far they’ve come and how they’ve held it down at the top. It’s going to be special for me to show them, kind of like, ‘Daddy’s back.’ CM Punk is back. You’re still here, and I’m still here.

However, Punk downplayed the excitement and said he was focused on proving that “CM Punk” was truly back. He added that at WrestleMania, Reigns and Rollins would realize he’s still a level above them. Even without a world title on the line, the match carries high stakes because of the star power involved.
