Add as a preferred source on Google CM Punk and Cody Rhodes will headline one of the top matches at SummerSlam 2026, but Mark Henry doesn’t believe either of them is WWE’s biggest attraction right now.
In a recent interview with Wrestleview, the WWE Hall of Famer was asked who he considers the top name in pro wrestling at the moment. Henry placed Roman Reigns at the top of the company and even ranked Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi above Punk and Rhodes.
“I don’t think Cody Rhodes or CM Punk are WWE’s biggest attractions. I think Roman Reigns is in the driver’s seat as the company’s biggest star. He’s championship material. I’d also put Brock Lesnar or Oba Femi ahead of Punk and Cody.”
Mark Henry says Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, and Oba Femi are bigger attractions than Cody Rhodes and CM Punk.

Reigns is also part of one of SummerSlam’s top matches, putting the World Heavyweight Championship on the line against Seth Rollins. It will be their first encounter since Royal Rumble 2022, with Rollins holding a slight edge in their head-to-head record at five wins, four losses and one draw.
Lesnar and Femi, meanwhile, will close out their trilogy in a Hell in a Cell Match. Femi won at WrestleMania 42, while Lesnar evened the rivalry by beating him at Clash in Italy. This will be Femi’s first match inside the structure, while Lesnar holds a 2-2 record in the stipulation.
Despite ranking Punk below those names, Henry also praised the current champion in the same interview, noting that he doesn’t have a single weakness and still has plenty to offer WWE.
