In his absence, WWE has created more new stars, so the need for him to return to beef up the main event has not been necessary. The emergence of Gunther, Jey Uso, Drew McIntyre, Solo SIkoa, Jacob Fatu, LA Knight, and more have made it so that management does not have to go back to the well and lean on the same guy to enhance match cards.

A dozen years after they first did it, Living Colour will perform “Cult of Personality” live for Punk's entrance at WrestleMania 41. He is about to compete in his first WrestleMania main event, so WWE is pulling out all the stops.
