CM Punk is Penciled in as 2014’s Royal Rumble Winner

F4Wonline.com is reporting that CM Punk is penciled in as 2014’s Royal Rumble winner. Punk, who has never been in the main event at WrestleMania, would win the Royal Rumble in January, then go on to face the WWE Champion at WrestleMania XXX. Punk has discussed wanting to main event ‘Mania on multiple occasions, and in 2014 he may finally get that chance.

Paul Heyman hinted at this potential booking on Monday Night Raw, saying that he will walk to the ring with Punk when he finally “main events” WrestleMania. The top two guys being discussed for Punk’s ‘Mania opponents are Brock Lesnar, who Punk will face at SummerSlam in August, and Daniel Bryan. The thought would be that either Lesnar or Bryan would go into New Orleans as WWE Champion and he and Punk would close out the show. This is not WWE’s confirmed booking for Rumble/WrestlemMania, and it’s a good while until January. Final plans for the Royal Rumble could change.
