CM Punk to make televised return to WWE while recovering from injury

CM Punk is coming back to ‘Raw.’

WWE announced on Monday CM Punk will return to the weekly show on March 25, when ‘Raw’ will take place in his hometown of Chicago at the Allstate Arena on March 25.

Punk’s appearance will be the first time he will appear on the show since he revealed he suffered a torn triceps at Royal Rumble, sidelining him for several months and taking him out of the WrestleMania 40 picture. The injury was his first televised match since he made his shocking return to WWE at Survivor Series: WarGames in November, which also took place at Allstate Arena.

WWE did not reveal what Punk will be doing when he appears on ‘Raw’ later this month.

‘Questions remain around what the self-proclaimed ‘Best In the World’ will have to say when he addresses the WWE Universe in-person on Monday, March 25,’ WWE said.

As part of the highly-anticipated return, WWE said it will open new seating areas to meet the demand of the sold-out show. The episode of ‘Raw’ will come less than two weeks before WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia.
