CM Punk is headed to WrestleMania as a guest commentator.

Punk announced during Monday's WWE Raw episode that he will serve as special guest commentator for the Seth Rollins vs. Drew McIntyre World Heavyweight Championship match on night two of WrestleMania 40 on Sunday, April 7.

Making a special appearance on Monday's Raw in Chicago, Punk, World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, and Rollins' WrestleMania challenger Drew McIntyre went more than 22 minutes in a segment setting up Punk as guest commentator for Rollins vs. McIntyre.

Punk teased hosting WrestleMania, teased being a guest referee for the World Heavyweight title match, taunted McIntyre for wearing "lifts in [his boots]" and "shoe polish" in his beard, dared McIntyre to name who had "chosen" McIntyre to be WWE's "chosen one," referenced Jim Cornette's podcasts, name-dropped The Rock, and much more in the memorable segment before closing with a promise to make Rollins & McIntyre "interesting" with his WrestleMania commentary.

Rollins will defend his World Heavyweight title against McIntyre on night two of WrestleMania on Sunday, April 7 after teaming with Cody Rhodes against The Rock & Roman Reigns in the main event of night one the day before. McIntyre earned the title shot by winning an Elimination Chamber match last month in Perth, Australia.

Punk suffered a torn right triceps in the Royal Rumble in January after making it to the final two of the match eventually won by Cody Rhodes.
