CM Punk’s First Match Since WWE Return Confirmed
CM Punk will be part of his first WWE match in almost a decade in the company’s spiritual home of Madison Square Garden.
CM Punk shocked the world when he returned to WWE at Survivor Series for the first time since he walked out of the company in January 2014. The move also came less than three months after CM Punk was very publicly fired by AEW for his part in a backstage altercation with Jack Perry at All In.
CM Punk announced that he was signing with Raw and looks to be set on a collision course with World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins who is less than thrilled that Punk has returned.
However, before that happens CM Punk is set to compete in a WWE ring for the first time since the 2014 Royal Rumble on one of the biggest nights of the year for the company.
