It seems that because of his recent absence, there are no plans for him to be part of Backlash this weekend, since Roman Reigns will be taking the World Heavyweight Championship into his battle with Jacob Fatu.

Self-Made Sessions recently reported that Punk is not scheduled to be added to the show at this point either; he appears to be having some time away from the ring.

“At the moment, as far as I’m aware, he’s not scheduled to be on Backlash. No.”

Punk and his wife, AJ Lee, both lost their championships at WrestleMania 42 last month, and Lee has since said goodbye to the ring for what could be another lengthy period of time.

CM Punk could return to WWE following Backlash

Roman Reigns isn’t scheduled to be part of many WWE events in June and is set to miss Night of Champions, which means that Punk could be the man around whom RAW is built that month.

Punk was defeated by Roman Reigns at WrestleMania for the World Championship, which could be why Punk has taken some time away. WWE also has Clash in Italy at the end of May, so it’s unclear if Reigns will be making the trip to be part of the show or if he will bow out following Backlash and make his return to the company in July.

CM Punk is one of the men who is featured on the poster for the show in Italy, but this isn’t an exact science, since Reigns was on the poster for Night of Champions and isn’t expected to be part of the show.

That being said, Punk isn’t injured at present and could be taking some time away after his long-time best friend, Kofi Kingston, announced his departure from the company after 19 years earlier this week.
