According to previous reports, CM Punk would finally make his WWE in-ring return at the Summer Slam 2024 premium live event. Now, a report by PWInsider has revealed a new positive update on CM Punk’s WWE return.
The report suggests that CM Punk was recently seen at the WWE Performance Center, where he did some drills to get a green light from WWE’s medical team to compete at SummerSlam 2024.
Drew McIntyre and CM Punk rivalry recap
WWE worked well with CM Punk’s real-life injury, and Drew McIntyre, who injured Punk, developed a new gimmick. He claimed on Monday Night Raw that he wished for Punk’s injury. Later, Drew McIntyre took Punk’s spot at Elimination Chamber 2024. After winning Elimination Chamber 2024, Drew faced Seth Rollins at WrestleMania XL and continued taunting Punk.
At WrestleMania 40, Drew McIntyre defeated WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins to become the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion. However, Drew didn’t stop there. He mocked CM Punk at WrestleMania XL, prompting Punk to strike back with a brutal attack on Drew.
