The Straight Edge Superstar appeared on the RAW after WrestleMania 42, assuring the WWE Universe that he wouldn’t take a hiatus.

Interestingly, he also teased going after Cody Rhodes’ Undisputed WWE Championship, a feud that has been brewing for quite some time.

However, the Chicago native has since been missing from the weekly programming. Amid his absence, there have been conflicting reports about his status, with some theories giving rise to speculation that he wanted out of WWE.

It seems like there was no truth to those rumors.

A new report suggested that the Second City Saint could return in July, with the June 6 edition of RAW in Chicago being the targeted date. He is expected to play a major role at SummerSlam this year.

In an update, the Wrestling Observer learned that CM Punk would be joining the SmackDown roster upon his return, a move that has allegedly caused some issues between the two parties since he was pushing for his return in Chicago.

Tonight, Punk returned to the Cage Fury Fighting Championships (CFFC) broadcasting team at the Hard Rock Casino in Rockford, Illinois. During the show, John Morgan said they brought CFFC 156 to CM Punk’s home state since they couldn’t get him to go on the road anymore.

The 47-year-old icon made a tongue-in-cheek comment, saying he ‘doesn’t travel anymore’ and that his horse was sick.

This was seemingly a callback to Terry Funk’s infamous excuse to dodge Vince McMahon’s offer to replace Pat Patterson as the head booker after playing one of Jerry Lawler’s “knights” at Survivor Series 1993.

“I don’t travel anymore. My horse is sick.”

When asked if he would be coming to future CFFC events, CM Punk said the following:

“Is that a Friday? I don’t know. Is that a Friday? I don’t know if I can make it. I don’t know. I don’t really have a lot of news. I gained 20 pounds recently. It’s not good weight. This suit’s a little tight, ladies and gentlemen.”

Fans have since been wondering whether he was teasing moving to SmackDown upon his return.

The Voice of the Voiceless has been training hard ahead of his comeback, going viral for his jacked physique.
