CM Punk And Big E To Join Pat McAfee And Michael Cole As Hosts Of WrestleMania 40 Kickoff Event
CM Punk and Big E might be injured but it doesn’t mean they want to miss out on the WrestleMania Kickoff festivities.
It has been announced that CM Punk and Big E will join Pat McAfee and Michael Cole as the hosts of the WrestleMania 40 Kickoff press conference on February 8 in Las Vegas.
CM Punk recently suffered an injury, tearing his triceps in the 2024 WWE Royal Rumble. Big E has been out of action with a broken neck since 2022.

This press conference is slated to feature a face-off between The Rock and Roman Reigns. Bianca Belair, WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley, and World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins are also slated to be there.
Cody Rhodes, the winner of the 2024 WWE Royal Rumble, is set for the event as well. Ahead of the event he had noted that he had “made his decision.” Cody has yet to reveal who he will be challenging at WrestleMania 40.
The Rock, feeling the backlash of his segment with Roman Reigns on the February 2 episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown, recently put out a message for the “Cody Crybabies” ahead of the press conference.
Fightful will have full coverage of the press conference on February 8.
