CM Punk made his grand return to WWE back in November in the closing moments of Survivor Series 2023 from Chicago. He began feuding with Seth Rollins and they were on track to have a top match at WrestleMania 40. Unfortunately, Punk tore his right tricep in the Royal Rumble, underwent surgery and won’t be cleared for action any time soon.
Since then, he’s made a few public appearances. Punk was at UFC 298, along with Bianca Belair and Montez Ford. He’s appeared in front of the live crowd after WWE Raw has gone off the air, and explained to fans why he’s not part of the WWE 2K24 roster. We now know when CM Punk will be back on WWE television.
WWE has announced that CM Punk will be there live in person when Monday Night Raw stops through Chicago, IL on March 25.
Here’s the official announcement for CM Punk’s appearance when the ‘Road to WrestleMania’ runs through the Windy City:

Although it’s unclear exactly how long CM Punk will be out of action, he probably won’t be wrestling for several more months.
The injury was a devastating setback for the controversial figure, who had been away from WWE for nearly a decade prior to his return. Punk arrived in WWE the same way he did in AEW: seemingly rested, refreshed and excited to write the final chapter of his career on his own terms.
Whenever CM Punk does return, we can expect a motivated veteran eager to get back to his game-plan to remind fans why he’s still the Best in the World.
