CM Punk is coming home again.
On Monday, WWE announced CM Punk will appear on the March 25 episode of WWE RAW. The show was already sold out, but WWE and the Allstate Arena will now open more seating sections to accommodate demand. The new sections of tickets will be on sale starting at 10:00 am CT / 11:00 a.m. ET.
The RAW taping marks the first time CM Punk will be at the Allstate Arena since he made his surprise return at the 2023 WWE Survivor Series event.
CM Punk’s last appearance on RAW came on February 5. There, he confirmed a torn triceps muscle would keep him off of the WrestleMania 40 card. Since then, Drew McIntyre has continued to mock Punk’s injury and took pride in putting him on the shelf.
The greatest comeback of all time
CM Punk was recently interviewed by ESPN’s Megan Olivi at UFC 298. Punk opened up about his recovery and said his comeback will be the greatest of all time.
“Well, I take a lot of inspirations from a lot of UFC fighters. And tonight we saw Illia Topuria, who very much put into the world that he was going to be undefeated and become champion. So, when I say my comeback will be the greatest of all time, I’m doing that for the explicit purpose of putting my money where my mouth is. I’m saying it. I am letting everybody know. And I have to live up to that.
“I won’t come short of anything but the greatest comeback of all time. So to me, right now it’s mental, it’s about doing the PT, and doing the work, and listening to the doctors and all the important people that know way more than I do. And letting this thing heal, before I can start pushing it. But, once I can start pushing it, full steam ahead. It’s exciting being my age, back in the WWE. And being able to not only prove people wrong, but prove myself right. And I’m gonna have fun doing it and it’s going to be the best comeback of all time,” CM Punk said.
