Have John Cena & The Rock Always Been a Roadblock for CM Punk? Exploring Net Worth Battle Between the WWE Megastars | WWE News - The Times of India
The Rock and John Cena have often come in the way of
CM Punk
attaining the ultimate glory in WWE and achieving his lifelong goal in the company.
The Rock and John Cena had been top rivals in WWE. Now, they have formed a powerful alliance in the company, which was cemented at the end of the 2025 WWE Elimination Chamber. John Cena won the 2025 Men's Elimination Chamber and turned heel for the first time in his career by attacking Cody Rhodes and siding with The Final Boss.
His actions has made him and The Rock enemies with The American Nightmare. However, whenever it was The Rock and John Cena involved together in WWE, another top star was always sent to the sidelines. He was none other than CM Punk.
According to sources like Sportskeeda and Celebrity Net Worth, all three WWE megastars have amassed incredible fortunes for themselves. For CM Punk, since returning to WWE, has earned a net worth close to $12 million from his wrestling appearances, and brand endorsements.
Despite having an impressive net worth, Punk's earnings are nowhere close to the staggering net worth of both The Rock and John Cena. The Final Boss commands a net worth of close to $800 million, and the 16-time WWE Champion earns a net worth close to $80 million. Both men earn from various sources like business ventures, WWE appearances, endorsements, and social media.
CM Punk is one of the biggest WWE superstars of all time. He rose to the main event scene back in 2011 and came very close to achieving his dream of WrestleMania for the next two years. But WWE's decision to have two WrestleMania main event matches between John Cena and The Rock led to Punk never having his dream. Even during one of those years, Punk had pitched to be a part of the match, making it a triple threat. But everyone involved in the match turned it down.
Similarly, John Cena won the 2025 Elimination Chamber match by last eliminating Punk, who claimed that once again Cena took his spot and berated him for showing his true colors after turning heel. He launched a verbal tirade against both WWE megastars on the RAW after Elimination Chamber.
With the road to
WrestleMania 41
becoming very unpredictable, it remains to be seen if CM Punk would be able to find his path to glory this year at The Show of Shows.
