CM Punk Wants WWE to End Longstanding Elimination Chamber Tradition

CM Punk criticized WWE's longstanding Elimination Chamber event format during an appearance on Morning Moshpit, specifically targeting the tradition of opening and closing the show with Chamber matches. The WWE World Heavyweight Champion, who is set to defend his title against Finn Bálor on February 28, 2026, suggested that major singles matches like his own or AJ Lee vs. Becky Lynch for the Women's Intercontinental Championship should get prime positioning instead. Punk also expressed his dislike for the "can they coexist?" storyline trope, stating he has no interest in forming a temporary tag team with Roman Reigns on the road to WrestleMania 42.

CM Punk Calls Out Selective Outrage Over Politics

CM Punk addressed the topic of public figures speaking out on politics during an appearance on The Morning Moshpit on February 27, 2026, arguing that "everything's political" and criticizing what he calls selective outrage. Punk, who previously reposted content critical of ICE's actions in Chicago and shared Mayor Brandon Johnson's response to Donald Trump in October 2025, stated that he refuses to censor himself and pointed to athletes' White House visits as an example of unavoidable political engagement. He concluded that people typically oppose political statements until they align with their own beliefs, saying "Everyone always says don't be political until it's their politics — and then they're rooting for it."
