CM Punk is set to make his WWE Raw return on September 16 in Portland, Oregon, just two weeks after being viciously attacked by Drew McIntyre. This announcement was made during this week’s WWE Raw “season premiere” from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
During the show, WWE official Adam Pearce provided an update, stating that he had spoken with Punk, who confirmed he’s far from finished. Punk’s return on Raw will serve as the lead-up to his third match against McIntyre at WWE Bad Blood 2024, where the two will face off inside Hell in a Cell.
This will be the final bout in their trilogy. The rivalry between Punk and McIntyre has been intense, with each competitor holding one victory. McIntyre claimed the first win at SummerSlam, while Punk evened the score at Payback. The Hell in a Cell match at Bad Blood promises to be the decisive battle.
In addition to Punk’s return, the September 16 episode of Raw will also feature a WWE Tag Team Championship match. The New Day’s Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods are set to challenge The Judgment Day’s Finn Balor and JD McDonagh.
With Punk’s comeback and these high-stakes matches, next week’s Raw is set to be a can’t-miss event as WWE heads toward Bad Blood 2024.
