WWE RAW included a couple notable moments for CM Punk. Not only did he sign with the RAW brand, but he also declared his entry in the 2024 Royal Rumble match.
Sean Ross Sapp noted in a portions update on Fightful Select that CM Punk and Seth Rollins’ segment on WWE RAW was a bit special. They did not have any producer listed on the rundown sheet.

Exclusive Insights on WWE Segments With No Producer
WWE segments will usually have a producer listed, whether it is a match or a promo. On rare occasions, promos are not listed with a producer’s name, because they are not needed.
I was told by sources within WWE that producers will sit on a headset backstage and call the segment, making sure that they accomplish their goal. When a promo is listed with no producer, that only means that there is no physicality needed for the segment.
Whether the physicality is moving from one point to another to hit a mark, or actually taking a bump, they need a producer for those segments. WWE doesn’t assign a producer for segments where there are no specific physical points to hit.
They actually did a lot in that contract signing segment on the December 11th episode of WWE RAW, one that included CM Punk’s showdown with Seth Rollins. It is a surprise that they didn’t have a producer listed, but they also had a seasoned producer, in Adam Pearce, in the thick of that segment.
WWE Superstars aren’t going out on live television without a net or lines prepared if they don’t have a producer listed for a segment. It only means that there were no specific things that they needed to do other than talk.
What’s next for CM Punk and Seth Rollins
Seth Rollins and CM Punk are likely to throw down in the future. It looks like CM Punk is determined to win the 2024 Royal Rumble match to get that spot if he has to. It will be interesting to see how CM Punk’s return changes WWE’s plan for WrestleMania.
