The Art of The 'Favor': What Could CM Punk's Mystery Favor Be?

There’s nothing more satisfying during WrestleMania season than a good old-fashioned cliffhanger. CM Punk has one dangling right in front of us, and it's driving fans wild. On the latest WrestleChat Podcast, we went deep on the "favor" storyline that's left fans scratching their heads. Punk got the WrestleMania main event, but as he made clear in his promo, that’s not the favor. So what is it?

Speculation is running wild. Is it a title shot beyond WrestleMania? Is it some match stipulation that hasn’t been revealed yet? Could it even be an unexpected Paul Heyman betrayal of Roman Reigns? The beauty of it is — we don't know. And that makes it the perfect wrestling hook. Fans on TikTok and Instagram have been throwing out wild theories, and honestly, we're just as clueless — and that's the fun part.

On the podcast, we tried to connect the dots based on what we've seen Heyman do historically. What's his power beyond being the "wise man"? He’s not a matchmaker, but he is a manipulator. Could he somehow swing the balance of the main event in Punk's favor?

Or is the favor something personal, not even tied to a title? Either way, it’s got us hooked.
