It was his first televised match since his return to WWE. CM Punk was finally back in a WWE ring after walking away from the company in 2014. His was a long-awaited return, often chanted about but thought of as nearly impossible considering the bitterness that had grown between the superstar and WWE's top brass.
CM Punk has reportedly suffered a torn triceps. The injury occurred during the Royal Rumble following a DDT from Drew McIntyre. Punk could be seen clutching his arm after the move but continued to wrestle through the pain.
CM Punk almost broke the internet when he returned to WWE at Survivor Series: War Games on Nov. 25. The mercurial talent had been a free agent following his release from AEW for cause.
Back in 2021, Kingston cut a promo with Punk, and it appeared to be setting up a feud between the two. As it turns out, there was already a real-life issue behind the scenes.
Fans across the globe have been hoping to see the star return at Survivor Series, but he confirmed his current hiatus in a recent interview on 670 The Score.
