CM Punk with his first WrestleMania match in 12 years tonight

CM Punk will enter his first WrestleMania as a competitor in 12 long years tonight and will also cross one big dream: headlining the event.

This will be his first WrestleMania main event and only his fifth singles match at WrestleMania, but eighth overall.

Punk was part of the Money In The Bank ladder match in 2007, wrestling alongside with Mr. Kennedy, Randy Orton, King Booker, Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, Edge, and Finlay. A year later, he won the Money In The Bank ladder match, defeating Chris Jericho, Mr. Kennedy, MVP, Carlito, John Morrison, and Shelton Benjamin. He also took part in the third Money In The Bank ladder match in a row in 2009 and won again against Mark Henry, Finlay, Christian, Kane, MVP, Kofi Kingston, and Shelton Benjamin.

He then started his singles run, against Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania 26, against Randy Orton at WrestleMania 27, against Chris Jericho at WrestleMania 28, and versus The Undertaker at WrestleMania 29.

His record is 3-4, not the best in the world, excuse the pun! To make it 4-4, he will need to overcome both Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns tonight, not any easy task by any means, but he does have the addition of Paul Heyman, who will be in his corner for this match after Punk cashed in his favor.

Punk was supposed to wrestle at last year’s WrestleMania but was injured at the Royal Rumble. He provided commentary for the Seth Rollins vs Drew McIntyre match and then cause McIntyre the newly-won WWE World Heavyweight title, allowing Damian Priest to cash in his Money In The Bank briefcase.
