WWE Raw has kicked things off in 2024 and they’ve promised to go into high gear as early as possible to build things for Royal Rumble 2024. An unexpected turn of events has been noticed on the Day 1 edition of the show and now we also know what to expect on the next episode.
WWE advertised CM Punk’s return for WWE Raw next week. He will be a part of the January 8th episode that will be emanating from the MODA Center in Portland, Oregon. As per the exclusive news that was published by Ringside News, it was reported that the former WWE Champion was also present, backstage at the Day 1 episode, last night but he wasn’t utilized. It seems that he showed up, even though he wasn’t booked.

While nothing specifically was noted, he was probably needed around for another reason on WWE Raw or it was just that CM Punk loves to show up on work trips even if he’s not scheduled to appear on television. While the appearance on WWE Raw was confirmed, it was not noted by the company what he would do during the January 8th episode. Currently, he is scheduled to compete in the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble match on January 27.
