With no imminent premium live events on the horizon, WWE Raw will deal with internal story-telling for the time being. With CM Punk’s return, WWE’s TV programming has already been shaken and there are chances that the former champion might just officially join the red brand when the time is right.
During his appearance on this past edition of SmackDown, CM Punk engaged with the fans and made it clear that he wanted their input when it came to signing with one particular brand in the WWE. He asked the audience if they preferred him to sign with WWE Raw, and the response was generated through loud boos. On the other hand, when he inquired about signing with SmackDown, the crowd erupted in cheers.

CM Punk then also proposed the idea of winning the Royal Rumble, pointing at the WrestleMania sign and main-eventing the show which he never had in the past and the fans also gave a grand cheer to the idea. Now, the former Straight Edge Leader has been added to the lineup of this week’s WWE Raw where he would finally spill the beans on signing with one main roster brand.
