CM Punk Potenital WWE Return Date Revealed: Report

After an incredible Hell in a Cell match against Drew McIntyre at Bad Blood 2024, CM Punk went to Monday Night Raw to let the WWE Universe know that he would be taking some time off of television.

“I’m gonna go home,” Punk said. “I haven’t seen my wife in about five weeks. I’ve got a lot of flowers to buy.”

“I appreciate you all. I’d like to say, ‘I’ll see you soon,’ but I just don’t know. Thank you.”

Naturally, this prompted fans to wonder why he was taking a break and when he could possibly come back to the squared circle.

Now, it appears that we might have an answer.

According to Fightful Select, CM Punk has been taking time off not just to recover, he was skipping Crown Jewel 2024 because he was against participating in any Saudi Arabia show.

Most importantly, Fightful Select revealed that the Second City Saint may return on Monday, Nov. 11.

This would make for a huge moment on Monday Night Raw, especially given the heat between CM Punk and Seth Rollins, who had a dramatic stare-down the last time Punk was on television.

That being said, Rollins is already involved in an exciting feud with Bronson Reed. Whether CM Punk will fit into the rivalry.

Additionally, Gunther vs. Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship is also already set up, meaning that it’s unlikely CM Punk can challenge for the title.
