As seen during the January 29th 2024 edition of WWE RAW, CM Punk confirmed that he will be missing WWE Wrestlemania 40 due to a torn triceps injury. World heavyweight champion Seth Rollins’ status for Wrestlemania is uncertain as he is recovering from an MCL injury. Brock Lesnar might not be used for Wrestlemania because of his name being associated with the Vince McMahon sex trafficking lawsuit.

Twitter account @WrestleVotes noted the following about the situation…

“Between the unfortunate injury to CM Punk, the questionable status of Seth Rollins and the pulling of Brock Lesnar, the WrestleMania card has took a sharp turn. Source said there are a number of brand new ‘card variations’ on the table, including some superstars who were not pegged towards the top just days ago. I’m being told they will take their time to figure things out and consider ‘just about everything.'”

During RAW, it was teased that Royal Rumble winner Cody Rhodes might challenge Rollins instead of the undisputed Universal champion Roman Reigns. In the storyline, Cody is going to consider his options before he makes a final decision.
