• CM Punk’s WWE TV Return Date After Schedule Change

Fans have been left wondering about CM Punk’s status after his name vanished from the advertising for WWE’s upcoming European tour. The former World Heavyweight Champion hasn’t been seen on TV since the post-WrestleMania 42 edition of RAW, and the mystery grew deeper when he missed both this week’s RAW and the Backlash premium live event.

He was originally supposed to kick off the overseas trip in Liverpool on May 28 and was even scheduled for a special London episode of RAW in late June, but his listings for all of those shows have been quietly taken down.

Despite the sudden disappearance, insiders say there is no reason for anyone to panic. According to Fightful Select, there is absolutely no drama or backstage trouble causing his absence. WWE is treating the situation as a routine schedule change rather than a major problem.

While European fans will have to wait a bit longer to see him, his next official date is already locked in. Punk is currently scheduled to make his return to TV on July 6, when RAW heads to his hometown of Chicago.
