WWE fans are buzzing about a potential WrestleMania 41 surprise involving CM Punk.
A growing movement is pushing for Living Colour, the rock band behind Punk’s iconic entrance theme “Cult of Personality,” to perform live at Allegiant Stadium. The speculation is fueled by the fact that the Grammy-winning band is already scheduled for a concert in Las Vegas that same weekend.
CM Punk’s Return and Redemption Arc at WrestleMania 41
Punk, known for his “Best in the World” persona, made a shocking return to WWE in 2023 after a seven-year absence. He quickly re-established himself as a top superstar, and his upcoming triple threat match against Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 41 proves his lasting popularity.
The match has a deep history. In 2012, Punk was WWE’s top guy when Reigns and Rollins debuted as part of The Shield. After Punk’s departure, Reigns and Rollins became bitter rivals when Seth betrayed The Shield. Now, with Punk back, all three men are battling to prove who truly deserves to be the face of WWE.
Punk’s connection to “Cult of Personality” runs deep. The song first resonated with him in 1989 when his youth baseball team, the Lockport Little League All-Stars, adopted it as their anthem. Years later, Punk used it as his entrance theme in Ring of Honor (2005), then carried it into WWE (2011-2014), AEW (2021-2023), and now once again in WWE.
Excited Fans Campaign on Social Media
The idea of Living Colour performing live for Punk’s entrance has created a wave of excitement on social media, with tweets like “Cult of Personality live for Punk’s entrance at Mania would go HARD.”
“Oh surely they have to now,” said one fan. Another committed fan added, “I will be there.”
“If he gets added to Cody vs Cena by winning the triple threat. Him having them play his entrance for his first main event would be insane,” speculated another user.
While the demand is strong, some wonder if WWE will go for it since Living Colour already performed at WrestleMania 29 for Punk’s entrance in 2013. However, many argue that if WWE did it once, they could do it again, especially with Punk’s return being such a major moment.
So far, WWE has remained silent on the possibility. But with fans pushing hard, the pressure is on to make it happen. Given Punk’s history with the song, a live performance would be a full-circle moment in his legendary career.
