CM Punk vs. Cody Rhodes Not Planned for WWE WrestleMania 43

WWE WrestleMania 43, set to occur in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in April 2027, is generating speculation about its main events, although recent reports clarify that a match between CM Punk and Cody Rhodes is not currently in the plans.

Earlier discussions suggested a rematch between Punk and Rhodes for Night One of the event, but new information indicates that WWE has not included this matchup in its current lineup. Roman Reigns vs. Oba Femi is being considered as a potential main event for Night Two, with that direction reportedly remaining stable.

Punk and Rhodes last competed against each other at SummerSlam on August 1, where Punk won the Undisputed WWE Championship. Despite their prominence on the SmackDown brand, WWE has kept them apart since that match, and while a rematch would be logical, it is not part of the current WrestleMania plans.
