CM Punk wants to bring WWE to Wrigley Field in Chicago. In recent years, WWE has done numerous shows in baseball stadiums, such as last year’s Survivor Series: WarGames at Petco Park in San Diego or the Royal Rumble 2024 event at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida.

CM Punk Has Had Discussions With Wrigley Field Executives To Host WWE Shows
On Rock 95.5, CM Punk revealed that he has had talks with some Wrigley Field executives regarding hosting a WWE event there. The Cult of Personality said both WWE and Wrigley Field executives are interested in this proposition, with the only problem being logistics. Here’s what Punk said:
“Oh yes. I’ve had discussions with some executives, I’ll say. Yeah, they 100% want it. The hard thing for us is the scheduling and getting in. We need load in and load out day. Believe it or not, it’s probably a lot easier for Wrigley to book Green Day because they don’t have the man hours for load in. They are doing a stage, some sound, and that’s technically it.
You need a little more time to roll our trucks in there and set things up because our production is that much more than a rock concert. We’ve been in discussions with it, it’s just going to make it so much easier to get it done if there is no baseball.”
Wrigley Field is the home of the MLB’s Chicago Cubs.
Realistically, WWE can only do a show in Wrigley Field stadium during Summers. Winters are way too cold for an open-air show. But with MLB schedule conflicts, there are not a lot of opportunities for WWE to host one of their events there. The All‑Star break does create a very short mid‑July window with no Cubs games at Wrigley, but MLB’s own events and WWE’s heavy production needs mean even that stretch is tough to use.

CM Punk Retained World Heavyweight Title At WWE Elimination Chamber 2026
Before his WrestleMania 42 match against Roman Reigns, CM Punk was scheduled to defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Finn Balor at Elimination Chamber 2026. The show took place in Punk’s hometown of Chicago, and he received a deafening cheer during his entrance.
There were times when it seemed like Balor could win, but with WrestleMania being so close, there was no chance for a title match. In the end, The Cult of Personality defeated Balor with the GTS. He’ll face Reigns at WrestleMania next month in April.
