CM Punk has currently headed on to a hiatus from WWE programming after wrapping up his feud with Drew McIntyre. As stated before his departure, he didn’t know what the future holds for him and that cast a shadow of doubts regarding his return to the WWE. As such, there are doubts over his involvement in the upcoming WWE premium live events, as well.
According to the previous updates from Fightful Select, CM Punk is not expected to appear at Crown Jewel 2024 which should explain his current absence. On previous occasions, the Second City Saint has always been clear about his negative stance when it comes to WWE’s partnership with Saudi Arabia, and hence it is no surprise that he will not be a part of the next Saudi Arabia show of the WWE.
