A previous report suggested there was a scheduling change when it came to The Straight Edge Superstar. However, a new report sheds more light on the former World Heavyweight Champion’s status. According to False Finish, Punk is waiting for creative from the management to return on the weekly product following the biggest event of the year.

The change regarding Punk’s status came when Gunther was moved to the blue brand for a feud with Cody Rhodes, and Jacob Fatu was sent to Monday Night RAW as Roman Reigns’ next challenger. It’ll be interesting to see when The Second City Saint returns to the Stamford-based promotion.

What’s next for CM Punk in WWE?

In 2023, CM Punk returned to the Stamford-based promotion for a second run under the new regime. It took a while for the run to officially kick off as The Second City Saint got injured in January 2024, but was feuding with Drew McIntyre on Monday Night RAW for most of the year before he returned to in-ring competition.

Last year, Punk faced Jey Uso for the World Heavyweight Championship when Seth Rollins relinquished the championship due to a shoulder injury. The Straight Edge Superstars captured a WWE World Championship for the first time in over a decade in Salt Lake City at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event.

Last month, CM Punk lost the title and teased going after Cody Rhodes’ Undisputed WWE Championship on the blue brand. As of now, Punk’s on a hiatus but will most likely feud with The American Nightmare in the coming weeks or months following his return to the weekly product.
