Summary
– CM Punk surprises fans with a ringside appearance on Monday Night Raw.
– Jey Uso’s thwarted Intercontinental title shot becomes the center of attention.
– Despite a triceps injury, Punk vows to return to Anaheim with his wrestling boots on.
Despite nursing a triceps injury, CM Punk remains actively involved in WWE’s road to WrestleMania 40. The former champion, keeping a vigilant eye on the programming, made a surprise appearance at Monday Night Raw in Anaheim, California, during the WWE-UFC takeover week.
After reports of Punk’s backstage presence proved true, he took center stage following the high-stakes main event. Introduced by Cody Rhodes, Punk addressed the sold-out crowd. It acknowledged the unfortunate turn of events for Jey Uso, who missed out on an Intercontinental title opportunity against GUNTHER due to a distraction from his brother, Jimmy Uso.
Jey Uso was seated in the ring’s corner and witnessed Punk’s assurance to the WWE Universe. Despite the setback, Punk praised the show and assured fans that the next time Raw invades Anaheim, he will be present with his wrestling boots on, ready for action.
“This is a bump in the road, and I promise you, the next time we are in Anaheim, I will be here and I will have my boots on,” declared Punk.
While Punk is expected to undergo months of rehabilitation for the triceps injury he suffered at the 2024 Royal Rumble, the WWE Universe eagerly awaits his return. The question looms whether Punk will receive medical clearance to compete on Raw in Anaheim, California, keeping the anticipation high for his eventual comeback.
