• WWE is advertising that CM Punk will return to TV on the final RAW before WrestleMania 40 in Brooklyn on April 1st.
This will be Punk’s first appearance on RAW since the post-Royal Rumble episode, where he announced his triceps injury and got attacked by Drew McIntyre.
McIntyre is doing a good job of keeping Punk relevant on TV, as he keeps taking shots at him, both on RAW and Social Media.
Punk was last seen at the WrestleMania 40 Kickoff Press Conference, where he worked as a Host. He also appeared in attendance at the recent UFC 298 PPV.
