In a move that has stunned the WWE Universe, the promotion has officially announced CM Punk‘s triumphant return to Monday Night RAW. Despite being sidelined with a triceps tear injury, Punk has made sporadic appearances. He made a cameo at the WrestleMania 40 Kickoff event and a few weeks ago on RAW after the show went off air.
Despite previous reports suggesting a hiatus due to injury, CM Punk’s comeback is now confirmed for the March 25, 2024, edition of RAW. The event is slated to take place in his hometown of Chicago, IL. WWE officially confirmed his return via social media.
Aside from this, Punk’s name has also been advertised for the April 1 episode of RAW—the go-home edition leading up to WrestleMania 40. However, details about his role remain in mystery. One thing’s for sure: the anticipation surrounding CM Punk’s return is reaching fever pitch.
Drew McIntyre’s reaction to CM Punk’s WWE RAW return
Drew McIntyre’s reaction to CM Punk’s return to the WWE RAW brand seems less than enthusiastic. On Twitter, McIntyre expressed his sentiments regarding Punk’s comeback on the March 25 edition of RAW. He shared a GIF depicting a fan in tears when Punk returned to AEW in August 2021.
McIntyre’s mockery of CM Punk is not new, as evidenced by his previous actions, such as posting a workout video emphasizing his triceps, seemingly about Punk’s injury. Additionally, McIntyre once wore a shirt mocking CM Punk’s absence from WrestleMania 40.
After Punk announced his injury, Drew McIntyre openly expressed his lack of fondness for Punk. He even stated that he prayed that Punk would get injured. In response, Punk noted that McIntyre would be the first person he would confront after his rehabilitation. Whether Punk and McIntyre will come face to face on RAW on March 25 remains to be seen. However, it promises to be an intriguing encounter.
